Knife Sharpening Do's and Don'ts

Thombrogan - Jerry Busse and I have an understanding. I don't pay any attention to his recommendations on sharpening his knives and he doesn't pay any attention to my knife tests. This state of mutual ignorance has worked out well so far. He still makes great knives and I still hurt myself or my friends or some acquaintances (okay, maybe a few strangers too) with them on a regular basis.

leroys_45 - No. None. The edge was pristine. About the only time I've really damaged a Busse edge was when I accidently hit myself in the forehead while using the spine of the knife to pound in a tent peg, and even then the edge just rolled.

Ming65 - I used to conduct a series of seminars on proper knife handling and sharpening techniques, but the Center for Disease Control stopped them after their analysis indicated an alarming increase in knife injuries after each of my seminars. I sure this data was purely coincidental, but you know Big Brother, always meddling in other people's business.

Buzzbait - Any pictures. I have a collection of penis sheaths. I started using them after an unfortunate mishap with one of my custom throwing knives. I am less of a man than I was before thanks to that little mistake. That's the last time I'll ever play "dodge knife" again. :(

Gollnick - You won't find any cats in my neighborhood. I haven't seen any since that Thai restuarant moved in down the street. What's up with that? As for speed limit signs, yes, that is a good idea. I was thinking of railroad crossing signs, but I think I'll take your advice.

Steelhed - You lazy bastid, you can't get rid of me that easy.
