I'm guessing that this is going to be a PITA to sharpen

its actually surprisingly easy to do. I did it to that recon 1 i was working on and it turned out amazing... i didnt do the stonewash part yet, but the acid etching part is as easy as putting your pants on.

I don't know man. I went to put my pants on last week and stabbed my toe with a mora. Could you imagine what could happen if I tried acid washing it? I'd probably end up crashing my car into a Toys 'R Us or something.

Yeah, me too. That's why I'm a little hesitant to sharpen my Blur.

Don't worry about sharpening the Blur. They're just as simple as a regular knife. I did this one on my Edge Pro and the EP stones are about twice as wide as the lansky ones.

I believe you can get rounded Lansky stones that work for recurves. I know they make 'em for the EP and I'm purty sure I saw them for the Lansky as well.
 
Awesome video! I actually feel like I'm learning.

Turns out, I'm a pretty decent free hand sharpener. I got my Chubby hair shaving sharp, using the lansky stones, free handed.

Nice! that's a very good skill to have. I'm completely lousy at freehanding but I've been getting better recently.
 
Apparently they are making partially serrated 0561s. They are also making them with a black coating. If it's DLC (I'm thinking it is) I'll be all over that. I love me some DLC.

It's worth it IMO. I got to get mine back from Steeley. I miss it so much. There's just something about that KVT.

KVT is pure awesomeness.

I purposely dulled my salvo, so that it wouldn't cut printer paper, and free hand sharpened it back to hair shaving. I'm so happy, that I don't have to invest in an expensive EPA anymore :p
Only some slightly expensive stones.
 
So now that I have this badass tv I am looking for blu ray suggestions. So what is everyone's list of most visually impressive blu rays you have seen. I have a decent amount but am always looking for something I have missed.

Dunno if they have it on blu ray, but the series discovery did, planet earth, was obnoxiously good in HD on my friends TV

Once I sell one of my knives on evilbay, I would be glad to throw in a $5 bill.



Question: If I still have a decently sharp edge, is it necessary to still start sharpening at the lowest grit stone and keep working my way up, or can I start somewhere in the middle, like 600 grit?
