gettin' a WSKTS for Christmas

I'm a slacker I know, I've still not opened mine.

I got mine from woodcraft a few days ago. Put very nice edges on everything I ran it through. Belt moves rather slowly, so there's hardly any heat buildup. Does well with scissors.

I love this thing because it's become much more than a sharpener to me. It's a baby belt grinder, and it's such a fun little toy for me. Gives me a break from my big grinders. Tonight, I did some shaping up on the edges of a kydex sheath, and it did a beautiful job. I'm going to take one of the worn 6000 grit belts and load it with some Flitz, green chrome or white matchless. I bet that would make for some awesome power stropping.

I hardly use the guides anymore. I was thinking about making a tiny little platen for it....lol. I can use the platen on the right side, and the opposite side can still be slack since it runs away from the edge.

At this point, It's not a sharpener to me. It's a very versatile little tool for knifemaking. I can employ this thing in thousands of ways. Time to make a platen!

ordered one yesterday along with some kydex supplies to get into sheath making.

Tried my hand at sharpening a Martindale Golok. Must've put too much pressure on the back end.

I just got mine today. sharpened a butter knife: check. sharpened kitchen knives: check. completely bald arm: check. blunted the tips on some knives: check. accidentally put a wave in a blade: check. works good. hopefully with patience and practice I can get stuff scary sharp because right now it's only slightly better than what I was getting before with cheapo pocket sharpeners.

LOL sounds like me.

I changed the background on the wifes computer to a pic of the WSKTS with a buy link on. Birthday is next month so maybe she will get the hint before then
