No way you're just photo choppin your pix up. Those can't be the real size of those things.....can it?

I have the same pill container for my ......for my pills also

No photochoppin'.

Ask not for whom the Gunyon tolls, it tolls for thee.

It is my understanding that due to all of the difficulties Guyot has had, all production on almost everything has stopped and as a result places are sold out of darn near everything. No idea when they will get that sorted out. Hopefully it is just that and not the precursor to them going out of business.

Lost my RMDx. Stupid auction ended at midnight and I wake up at 445 for work. Couldn't stay up and I lost it. Grumpy today.

Just emailed you Clich.

 

[clich]

Got it. I'm just terrible at auctions. I always lose right at the last second.

 

[Guyon]

Flexxx, I'll give the Klean Kanteens a look. Thanks.
clich, sorry about the auction. You gotta go balls up at the last second to do the best damage.

Now you won't anymore!

Kleen Canteen has started making wide mouth bottles - same opening size as the guyot, up to 40oz. specifically states that the same water filters that would screw directly onto the guyot will work with their new "wide" bottles.

 

[Guyon]

I'm so out of the Canteen loop.

 

[DerekH]

If only they would make one that is 32oz instead of 40. The guyots were the only ones I have seen in stainless that were right at 32oz.

Would rather have a 40 then a quart...

 

[Guyon]

We know.

 

[1066vik]

I like the 40 idea, too. (on both counts!)

 

[Silverthorn]

I have 2 of the 40 oz clean canteen steel canteen bottles.
I like mine, but the space saving cups dont work with them because they are bigger than the cups.

What do you guys know about sharpening a recurve

What do you guys know about sharpening a recurve

Round sharpening rods are the way to go.

 

[MrKnifekid]

Round sharpening rods are the way to go.

What slapper said...

 

[clich]

Without rods?

 

[maethor]

Scrape the edges off from a normal benchstone until it is round enough.

Seriously though, recurve sharpening without a rod might prove to be a pain in the ass. I've heard of people sticking adhesive backed sandpaper to wooden dowels or plastic pipes to use for sharpening recurved blades.

Not buying recurved knives might help too.

Just wanted to throw a couple of pics out here that I took last friday, I'll put some more up over the next few days.

Quick hike to the lake and back to the yard, then some pork filet with toasted ciabatta bread. delicious.

BK-7 is really starting to grow on me.

 

[slapper]

I sharpened a Kershaw Blur with a Smith guided sharpener once. It worked okay with the finer grits, but the coarse ones chattered a lot and roughed up the edge. It lost some recurve too.

Then I ordered some silicon carbide rods so I could follow the curve instead of change it.

Like maethor said the edge of a benchstone might work.

Another possibility is a retractable diamond pocket sharpener.
