Yea Chet, this one is scary sharp. You know how when you check a really fine edge (like my Shun Chef's knife, and I've seen that you have one too), the blade sometimes "rings" because its so thin? This JYD2 SG2 does that. The Horton TAC-4 that I have is a hollow-ground chisel that's really fine (Jeremy was going to carry it as his own personal folder) and this SG2 is thinner behind the edge even. Will try to take a pic. I asked because I'm interested to see if the SG2 Blur is ground just as fine.

Hollow. And dam thin! Kershaw has a way with their SG2 and VG10. Razors can't get as sharp as those edges do.
Talk about an edge, a few years back Kershaw did a 250 piece run of the 4380D Double Cross. 16 layers of 420 over a VG-1 core, and Pakkawood scales.

Sorry to ruin your guys SG2 goodness, but something important happened in my life and I feel like telling somebody so I thought I'd tell you guys.
About 3 years ago my mom got a new boyfriend. They went to high-school together (same school I'm attending) and kind if knew each other. At first things were fine and I thought he was ok. Him and my mom were always around each other and were always testing each other. I'm going to guess about 6 months in is when we started to go over to his house and stay the night. It was a duplex on a lake. I didn't like the house but everyone else did, but that's besides the point. When we moved in with him for good is when I found out he was an alcoholic. I guess you could call him a "true" alcoholic. He'd get drunk every night. Sometimes I would even see him pour out some pop (that's what we call soda up here) and than fill the rest with vodka. I was about 11-12 years old at this time. There were some nights that him and my mom would get to arguing so much that we would have to leave and stay the night at a hotel. I don't understand why, but my mom always went back to him. The next day they would act like everythings fine. I just didn't understand it. This continued for a good year. In that year I found out that he would hit my mom. These confrontations usually happened when we weren't around or sleeping. My mom would have bruises on her arms. She also got hit in the eye once. This is when I started to put the pieces together and figure out that it was probably best if we moved out or if he moved. Fast forward about 6 months and they started to look for a new house to rent. They were able to find an A-Frame house that was still on the lake. It's a nice house and it's what we still live in. On the 2nd night of moving in my mom and him got into a big argument over something stupid. I can't remember what it was though. They were arguing in the living room and we were in our bed room. I poked my head out and I saw that he had started to choke my mom. He had her up against the wall with 2 hands around her neck. I ran out into the living room and started to yell at them to stop. He stopped but turned his head to me and started coming after me. I ducked down beneath him, but he was still able to grab ahold of my sweat-shirt and rip part of the collar. That's all I remember of that night. My mom still continued to date him, but I didn't know why. Go ahead 6 more months again and he's in jail for drinking and driving. He served 90 days. When he got out is when my mom said he had to stop drinking. It was hard at first but eventually he stopped. He's still alcohol free to this day as far as I know. Things between my mom and him were getting better but they still constantly argued over the stupidest things. It just seemed like he was trying to find something to argue about. Now go back about a month from today and my mom and him are arguing again. I grew so accustomed to hearing them argue that I would try to step in between them. It didn't usually work because my mom would tell me to go to my room. Once again I tried to stop but it didn't work. I just sat out in the hallway and listened. At one point my mom told him to leave and he said he'd be out by Sunday, which was 3 days from then. When he said that I said "I'll even help you pack" and my mom asked why I said that and told me to come next to her. Now my mom and I were both arguing with him. All he said was that he'd be out. The arguing stopped and we went back to what we were doing. The next couple of days just consisted of a little chit-chat between my mom and him. After about a week they started to talk about who was getting what and where the money was being split up. They agreed and he was able to find an apartment. Now were at this last Friday and I'm at my dads for the weekend. And guess what I get when I get home? He's moved out and all of his crap is gone. I feel like a big burden has been lifted off of my shoulders. Now there will be no more pointless arguing and I can live a "normal" life. I dont have to worry about him being a d*** and what he's going to do next. I'm just so relieved. There's still some stuff just laying around that has to be taken care of but I'm willing to do whatever it takes for him to be totally erased from our lives. I just wanted to tell you guys because I can't sit here and know what I want to say and not say it. I just want you guys to know that I've only told one other person this and it was my best-friend. That's how much you guys mean to me and I wouldn't just tell anyone over the Internet that. Thanks for putting with my mouth and not getting relatively frustrated.

We're always here man. Don't be afraid to ask, or tell us anything. There are a lot nice people on this forum, who are willing to help, and listen to you. We're all a family. A dysfunctional, knife addicted family. I'm glad that it's starting to turn around in your favor.

Bro I am glad things are looking up for you. Glad to know you trust us with telling things like that. It is good to talk and when it comes down to it, we are all good guys here ( from what I can tell ) and wouldn't use any personal stuff against you. Again glad things are getting better. I can't really say how I feel about men that hit women.

Also glad the Zing made it too you to Dbag. Hope it was sharp enough.
Yea it is pretty darn sharp. You know how awesome it would've been if they made a brown zing? I'd buy 30 of them.

Thank-you guys for your support. I'm glad that I have people like you to talk to. You guys provide me with a lot of laughter. It's a good feeling to have knowing that I can come here and talk to you guys about things that I love and about personal problems.
Steeley (is that right?): I feel the same way you do about "men" that hit women. It's something that doesn't belong in our society. It's kind of hard to explain what I feel about "men" that hit women.

The TiLT is so beefy and huge, that it barely fits in my pocket. But since my pant pocket wall is thin, I get to keep my TiLT clip. Has any of you TiLT owners put lanyards on it? I have the fear I'm going to let go of it right as it pops outta my pocket.

Yep that is right
