EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

Paper Wheels! That's something you don't hear of often anymore! Man, they were all the rage.... I wonder why they pretty much completely disappeared from the zeitgeist? Maybe people found out that it overheated the edge a little bit or something? I was going to say that maybe the main manufacturer of them went away, but I just searched them and they're definitely still available. Don't know, but I'd like to have some, atleast for quick touchups of bigger knives. I think once more edge retention testing results came out it scared people away from using powered sharpening tools, but perhaps it over-scared them as they definitely still have their place.

Nice couple of knives there! I had completely forgotten about STR's deep carry clips back then until you posted your STR knife the other day!

100% my fault in this case but I had a knife ripped out of my hands using them once. I got the tip too far onto the wheel. I gave the grinder that had them on it away and don't have a bench grinder or buffer in the shop anymore. I sharpen with my grinder and stones now.

Oh yeah, I try to keep my bird friends happy and make their lives a little bit easier. Every afternoon, right after I walk in the door from work, I go out and refill their seed. It gives me a good excuse to get an outdoor picture of my knives too.

Whew... That must have been scary! Haha. Yeah, I've always been a manual sharpening guy, but I would really like to have some sort of powered sharpening tool, be it a small bench sander, or a grinder with paper wheels, or something of the sort for my big outdoor blades, and my friends and family's kitchen knives. I'd love to have a Tormek, but they're a bit above what I'd want to spend.

I understand. If there is snow on the ground, I keep the bird and squirrel feeders full. Squirrel feeder attracted a new player.
