BRL, seriously, get some river clay, some yellowroot, a burlap sack, and a bottle of Scotch. Mix the clay and yellowroot into a poultice and wrap it in the burlap. Then, throw that shit away and drink the Scotch.
 
Just wash the dirt off your finger and it will look normal again....

A belt sander and a bench stone. What you are essentially doing is knocking off the factory secondary bevel (the shoulders on the factory edge) by making the blade a true full flat grind. Then hitting the bench stone and putting on your own toothy microbevel. Makes the sucker cut like a serrated edge, but slice like a spyderco. Its like a dream
 
Question for any of you guys who have worked with leather, what weight would be a good thickness for making a sheath. I am thinking of making a stacked leather one for my 14 but not really sure what kind would be right. Any ideas?

8-9 oz should be the largest you would need. You could even go 5-6 oz and it will still be a beast of a sheath.

I use 13 oz leather, mostly, because its what I got, and for most knives other than a BK2, its just WAY too much.

Stick with the 5-6 oz, its solid and will do you good. Be sure and get a shoulder cut, and stay clear of the belly cut leather, its just too flimsy for a good sheath.
