• Happy Thanksgiving to all of you! I hope that you all have something to be grateful for this year and for many years to come
  • America has reached 250 years, and I am grateful to be here, in the best country in the world. Thank every one of you who helps make this country a better place, those who have gone before and risked it all, and those who've paid the ultimate price to make the United States what we are today.

    Happy Birthday America! Let Freedom Ring for all time!

Finally!

I finally got a knife to whittle hairs! I recently obtained a Sykco 511 to be my light packin, jack of all trades, beat on it and not worry about it knife. Just like my Sykco 911, it has a thick edge and the shoulders are abrupt. I convexed the edge and smoothed the shoulders out with my worksharp, then stropped it on an old leather belt that I use loaded up with diamond paste. Most of my knives get this treatment and can shave easily but this is the first time I could slice a hair length ways. All the practice finally paid off! Now I just have to get consistent at it...... Thanks for listening to me brag!
