I needed to touch up my N2 after a season of fatwood feather sticks, cutting cardboard and opening packages. The blade was all gunked up and it needed some cleaning & sharpening. After about 20 minutes on my Strop Bat it's crazy sharp again. I was actually surprised that I could get it that sharp without having to go to stones or a diamond sharpener. I am starting to become a fan of 20cv.

I find this to be a great utility knife. I think I have about 5 of these, one in the car, one in my bags and one for around the house. I ordered a 2.7 and I am wondering which I will grab first around the house!

Anyway, these are the 2 that I pre-ordered way back when. I picked them up in person and Guy was nice enough to touch up the blades for me. Not that the knives needed it, but Guy put an edge on them that Gillette would have envied. I think it was my last visit to the G-burg shop.

Let's see your N2s, comments, etc.!

Manscaping?????




Sorry, couldn't resist. I'll reply with something more or less intelligent and contributive when I get home! Great thread!
 
OH!!! Now I get it. I was almost certain that wasn't an auto correct or typo mishap :rolleyes:

I thought maybe you were trying to outdo Chiral's face shaving vid :D
 
Lmao. I loved mine but momma toothpick loved it more. Then Ellie sent her a package that locked in me never seeing it again unless she was using it. I gotta grab another one or try a 2.7.
 
Too many pics to re-post, but here is a link to the review I did: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/s...-Photo-heavy-review-with-a-couple-comparisons

and that shaving vid Silver mentioned (please don't watch the whole thing, it's boring and infested with my ugly mug, but it was intended to demonstrate utility and Guy's dedication to shipping out sharp knives :thumbup: - also, and important to note, it was NOT an incredibly smooth shave, I recommend stropping first ;) )

As always, a cool video! Is that a Dick Dale or a Ventures song on the background?

wow, never been asked that before! It's "Warzaw Express" by The Pharaos. I was picking through free music for one of the videos and that one seemed to match the pace of the sped-up shaving vids. *shrug*
 
Yes it is, flat earth. I am not sure if they made many with the DLC. I've only seen them in stone wash.

N2 is with me EDC, sometimes I forget I'm carrying it.
 
I was lucky enough to grab one as well from the March 7th sale. Waiting patiently for that good ole shipping notice.
