Ok all tell me this isn't crazy. I was just on another forum where someone posted a news video of a guy in a wheelchair who pretends to be mentally handicapped and begs for money. Well it turns out it was my local news and I had actually seen this S.O.B. outside my mall who pulled his act on me. He put it on so thick I could barely understand him though so I just smiled politely as I passed. How insane is it to stumble across something from my backyard like that on a national forum.

OMG!!!!!! No way dude!! That's pretty insane!! What are the chances?!?! That's unbelievable!!!!
 
20 inclusive or 20 on each side? I don't go below 30 degrees inclusive as the edge just doesn't even last more than 4 or 5 days with my use. I love my wicked edge and get great results but I feel like I am really taking off a lot of metal every time and not really doing touch ups
 
Don't you just love when your working out a trade and the person just all of the sudden stops communicating?
 
20 on each side is 40 degrees inclusive it is the rule of thumb "best compromise of sharpness and longevity", good choice knotty.

And I hate that Iceman, how long has it been? If it is recently maybe they fell asleep just for the night.

Was it a blem? Either way its not too bad. I was looking at blurs earlier but I had to go cook supper. Damn.

I was looking at making a red cf handle frankenblur with a s30v blade. Then I would have 3 different steels on the 3 cf blurs! This is a sickness man! I keep trying to talk myself out of it!

That's one a my biggest pet peeves ever. It seems to have gotten more common recently unfortunately. I had a guy offer me a southard once and after sending him two emails and a visitor message, he still hasn't gotten back to me. I've since traded the knife so it doesn't matter but it still annoys me that he just doesn't think getting back to someone is important. I miss the old days...

Yeah as long as its over. It sounds like he did not know much about it at all! I would have jumped on it considering its less than what I paid for mine NiB earlier last year.

If you zoomed in on the pics, it was knicked on the handles and the blade didn't look exactly pristine. BNIB? I don't think so. Unused? Maybe. Dropped or otherwise banged around? Probably

Not that it wasn't worth it, but I'm not a fan of descriptions that don't match the pictures.

Ya I don't put up with it. Hell I even texted the guy. It's cool though I just sold the knife.
