Dont you just love to get mail from Peru !!!!!!!!!! I used Rubber Bucky to riper open...There she was! RB came off, and she went on! My first custom and she will NOT go in the toy box....But she is a troubled girl....She wants to be the best she can be to serve everyday...I know that she was born to be a showoff, Treasured,pampered,treated verrry gently, admired by all who see her just a few days a year, mabe take a trip to Alanta in the summer.To stay by my side a few changes will have to be made. She is willing and so am I..... I have been told by 334 that chipflint has a few drawbacks,It can make you sick if you cut food with it..Particls get in the grain of the steel.Which causes bactieria to grow,ect. Is there any way to fix that problem? mabe some type of wax,Metlice coating ? Granted that chipflint is made for show how can I make it more practal for EDC....Now to the edge...with that thick bevel how should I sharpen it to get that "Hair Popin" degree of sharpness Joe if I send it back to Buck will they put more of a razor edge ? I dont mind if the width of the polished edge is a little wider Like up to 3/16s or so. Its just to nice to hide!! Thanks All !

No kidding? Decaf said that?

I use a 110 Damascus quite often for chow. Would think that Damascus would have a similar issue as the chipflint. Dunno what I dunno.

.
 
well yes goose, i did tell him that ...
i had not thought about Damascus!
it is acid etched! so would have tiney pores were particals could get traped..
reason i said that is that in food service they can not use porus steel like were the porclian is chiped off... nor can they use any knife that has had rust and showes pits...
{ i did electrical work in the kitchen of the VA hospital and
also replaced blades on chopers and mixers ect..}
i carred that logic to chiped flint...with it tiney groves..unless supper cleaned is it ok? can you clean that well?
no one likes getting sick
i notice you use gloves in cooking for get togethers...
and that the 120 chefs knife is clean!
i donn know ...
none of us old farts is young enught to fight off the bugs we did as younger kids and also did not know what we know now then...

OK how's about some of you others chimeing in ?
esp any one that knows better then i do!!!
 
Well, just borrowing from my 35 year old bacteriology teaching, Dave is quite right. Any surface with crevices/pores can serve as a refuge for bacteria. With that in mind, the chipped flint surface will be harder to clean, but not impossible. You will want to take a brush to that puppy, along with some soap and hot water.

As long as I am mouthing off about bugs, did you know that a real wood cutting board is easier to sterilize than a plastic one? True story. Bacteria lodged in the cuts of a plastic board are harder to get at than a wood board. To sterilize the wood board, just use a 10:1 water to bleach solution after washing with soap and water. Leave the solution on for a few minutes and then rinse and dry.

I know, too much information. ;)
 
Interesting...I didn't know a chipflint was porous.

I don't have a chippy but when I do use my 110 Damascus for chow (or any of my herd), I wash it with a brush, soap, and hot water...unless I'm out and about...
then I find that the leg of my jeans work just fine ;)

I use pitted carbon blades as well as damascus and sometimes... many times just rinse them with plain water and in my pocket it goes! Every one tells me that it is not sanitary and my reply is always Why do you think i never get sick? I am immune to bacteria by now or at least i like to think. When the thing with the wal mart and peter pan peanut butter had every idiot in the nation that bought it try to make a buck on it i simply kept my jar with the scare lot number on it and ate it! my nephew ate some of it and was placed in the hospital but i never got sick and kept it and finished it! oh by the way i never go to the doctor when i do get sick... it just makes my immune system stronger and more immune to whatever illed me.
 
Took a irevolkble step today .....Had my BCCI Baby sharpned to "Hair poppin Good" I have to be truthfull tho, I really thought about putting her away in the toy box Its really a pertty knife.........I am so glad I decided to make her mt EDC !!!!! When I strap it on I know I have something special nobody else at least in florida has or uses..When it comes right down to it a wallmart special will get the job done, but I feel like a millionare carrting that beautyfull Buck Custom..Thanks Buck!

Decaf...
Thanks for the pics.
My two Chippys arrived yesterday. Beautiful knives.

Not the sharpest outta the box. But, as stated in the first post here, I 'm also guessing most will be for display.

Of the two, one has more "character marks" in the scales. Swirls and not as black as the other. The one with "character" will join my 110 EDC rotation. Will prob hit that with the Lansky some rainy day.

Not quite one 110 EDC a month yet:

110AG
110 IonFusion jigged buff
110NS BG-42 jigged buff
110NS 1989 Damascus enhanced by Muskrat
110NS 2007 Damascus Koa
110NS (single bolster) 2007 BCCI Chipflint Buff red liners
