Read WW's post again and the subsequent one about how it's open to anyone who posts in snark regularly enough. He knows who we are. Stop being such post horus....good lord, I step out of the house for an hour and you guys blather through 3 pages! It's not a contest of inanity......or post counts. "No can defend!" There actually used to be some damn snark in the snark thread. There better start being some seriously good BS-ing in here, or I'll start skimming, by (insert your chosen deity here)! Blah, blah, blah, blade angle, blah blah blah has it's own sub on BF. Use it. @dynamicmoves: are you happy with your blades' performance? If so (I assume this to be true), I would posit that it does not matter what the angle is.

Man I wish I could think of some good snark. You guys (and you know who you are) need to put a little more quality and a LOT less quantity into your efforts.....to make up for guys like me.

:thumbup: Yup, a regular with just one post in this thread could win it!! Great thing about being random.

If the people want, ill make it so the winning post must be a decent SNARKING post too... Hell i dont care!!!! My GAW so my rules LMAO

As far as edges goes that very correct!! Use what you like. Im intentionally learning to use thinner edges, that doesnt mean everyone else needs to thin there edges or there could be a bunch of people starting to think there is something wrong with the steel or HT of their knife.... "Oh...... ahh..... well the edge chipped out so it must be a defected blade or a heat treat issue right?" ... Uh NO, you thinned it out and then torqued it while cutting. Happens to even the pros.... if 20° or convexed or 22° or whatever always worked for you then keep it. 99% of people dont need the same blade to slice paper, rope, cut golf balls in half, and chop through 2x4s..... Im learning with a goal and task in mind, the more i use thinner edges the more muscle memory i obtain. Now im also not against people trying something new to figure out what they like either, just dont blame the blade, 99% of knife failures are cause by an operator error. As the saying goes if its not broke... Dont fix it.


Now all you over eating, over drinking, blade show goers, and everyone with better plans than me for the weekend can sit on this.....

And my crotch shot for this post...

Sometimes this graveyard thing ain't all it's cracked up to be. I haven't slept in almost 24 hours and I have a serious case of insomnia right now. I'm supposed to get up for work in 3 hours but I might just call in sick. Or maybe I'll go, I just patrol around in a truck all night. Not a hard job in the least. It's just annoying because when I got home I couldn't wait to get to bed. Was checking my email and couldn't keep my eyes open. Finally crawled into bed and settled in and...nothing. Laid there for a couple hours and got up and tried reading for a while because that's supposed to help shut your brain off but it didn't work.

I guess I'll start shopping for reloading equipment...

Oh my bad, I posted twice about what the topic of the snark thread happened to be on.
By the way, what worldwood post?

Same thing happens to me all the time. It gets rather frustrating at times . I've found that melatonin helps me quite a bit when I'm having troubles getting to sleep.

Let me know if you need any reloading equipment advise.
 
Just sharpened my co-worker's leatherman multitool, interesting experience that I learned from.
 
That sucks BiggHoss, hope you make it through your shift.. or call in and sleep all night. :D I have started waking up every night at 4am and I can't get back to sleep before the alarm goes off at 5:02... At least I have most of the parts lined up for my new .300 build though, I have started just grabbing my wife's kindle and heading to the "office" to do research instead of just laying there for an hour.

Yes, I'd like to know as well...
 
Well, I just spent an hour trying to hook up the post hole digger to the tractor by myself. Learned I couldn't do that, at least the way mine is set for dismounting. There's got to be a way to do it. Has any one else needed to hook one up solo?? Recommendations?? Setup?? I'm figuring that there has got to be a "storage solution" that allows for solo hook-up.
 
300 blackout is a fun round, shot it once.

SO My first sale for knife sharpening for a co worker, he was so surprised that a cheap leatherman can get that quality edge.
I made a quick 5 bucks, once he shows it off to his shift mate I'll have another customer :p.
Once I make 30 bucks maybe I'll get the subscription to sell services for you all :D.

Me too. Screw it, I'm going to Atlanta instead. I heard there's some sort of knife show there this weekend...

I've heard the same thing. When are you getting in James? We just pulled in to Atlanta - man that was a long drive.

TMHunt said:
Well, were about half way into the drive to blade. Me and the wife are going on to florida after balde and 1066Vik and Murph will be heading back home so we are traveling together but in separate vehicles. Unfortunately my eye injury must of been a little worse than I thought. Its healing well but had some problem focusing and the strain while trying to drive gave a massive headache, one like I have never had before. So, pulled over and my wife is driving. At lease all of the knife work is done. I got up this morning and fixed coffee for me and Eric and he stitched the last M-18 sheath over a bowl of cheerios. Im gonna owe a lot of people a lot of thanks for pushing me to the finish line on this one. Sea you all whos going to blade there. Hope everyone has safe travels.
