Pay It Forward Number 9... Number 9... Number 9

Thanks guys. I'm just "in the zone" til I settle into my new job, then I'll probably buy some things to spread the love of inexpensive, decades proven tools.

To post a pic:

Get a free acount at Photobucket. Upload pics to Photobucket. Click the IMG link on the right of the screen when viewing an image. Paste the link into a post. The image will show up in place of the link.

You can also use dropbox with pics you put in the "public" file (that's not an endorsement or anything, just an extra option)

Read that last sentance again.

That's why you tell kids to chew their food

Mostly a question here.I am also curious what anyone might have as strop media. Mine had red on it when I purchased it make homemade, but that has worn. And there is nothing available local besides online. I simply go from my fine sharpmaker rods to the strop so nothing super crazy like diamond paste. I just use it to remove the burr. Or is a naked strop the way to go?

Man my strop (which is by for my most used piece of sharpening equipment) is made out of an old 99¢ leather belt from the thrift store and a piece of wood I found. I use a stick of harbor freight green compound, all in all I have under $8 in it and like I said its my most useful piece of equip.

I know one guy was making them and givin them out in these threads but incase no one can help you out you really don't have to spend more than a few bucks to make your own.

I did make my own out of a nice piece that is 2 by ten, which I put onto my old wood paddle, I was mostly curious about the compound which I will try out tomm, I have a two pound brick of that green stuff. Even if it only helps a little that is fine. My sharpening speaks for itself . So its just a final touch up for me. But that is what makes the final edge that much better. Now just to find some sharpmaker parts.

Im trying to get a pic of the curve, But I guess that link works fine. I dont know how to post pics off of image searches, It just doesnt work for me.

You will be amazed at what stropping does, especially if your already getting a good razor edge, its a whole new game...

And a little (tiny) bit of mineral oil can help the compound to stick, again just a very small amount. I use green and it puts a mirror bevel on the blade but I also have white and use it on my fillet knife or other knives I just want to show off with.

I concur, your 2lb green brick should do fine.

Thanks a lot, RemyKaze and good luck with the new job! :thumbup: I'm being crushed at my job (lately, a colleague who has a desk job has recruited me for her companion for leisurely walks home, as a form of excercise- she has 5 miles to walk home, and me a few miles more, I think 8 in total)...

I may have been less active here than earlier, but in spirit of PIF thread, I've bought a #9 INOX Opinel for myself, and passed it on to a friend for his brother (he needs a good knife for fishing and outdoors activities- and I figured his need is greater than mine). And he will be PIFfing me an order for few sheets of bible paper from UK (I need it to make a 'special' pocket edition of New Testament to be PIFfed to aforementioned colleague-friend).

EDIT. Thanks Stvporciau- I've cut it out: no need to use words that can be misinterpreted.

Wooooo I know what that means, I used to "walk a few girls home" back in high school.

I hope she's pretty.

To keep it knife related, opinels are the best knives ever and someday I'll try the inox.

I hope you taught him how to open it when it sticks if he's gunna be around water

Hey cold steel,or anyone else interested,when you copy an image off the web & paste it here you need to go to preview post & change the lower case url in the brackets on the ends with upper case IMG.The url & IMG only show in the edit window when you preview.

Both of these were copied off Goggle Images & you can see what I mean in the edit window when you preview or reply with quote.

Hope this helps & cool little tool BTW.:thumbup:

Okay. This needs a jump start so I will put forth a SAK tinker. The condition is to abide by the rules of this thread and all previous incarnations of it. Based on the responses I get through my email through this forum. I will select a worthy person on December 1st.

So if I am understanding this if I have something, like a couple of knives I don't use, I can just offer them up here?

 

[spydercobenchmadekai]

Yep. Then you can claim a few of other peoples' offerings. Or you can claim extra good Karma by not receiving but only giving.

Yessir! And there's occasionally ones that other want to give away that are beauts in your eyes too. But the good feeling helpin out is the main reward...definitely makes it worthwhile

 

[65steve65]

ok cool, I have a few to giveaway but I will hold off til after this week to make sure I have enough funds for shipping lol

 

[eafisher]

What's up everyone! I'm in a bit of a predicament because I have these 2 friends that are brothers. I have been wanting to for a while get both of them a knife. I know they like knives and one of the brothers uses a paring knife for edc and the other has a framelock that doesn't engage. If anyone has something to pass on they would be used and much appreciated. I haven't had the money or any blades of my own to offer them. Thanks for the opportunity and I will pay this forward!!

In on a give away,

100 converted LC to 300 BLK cases(converted by a commercial outfit, not me), annealed, email me a Pic of your 300BLK with a card with my user name by your Blackout(please no photoshop'ed jobs).

I have an older Spyderco with a broken clip(clip was molded into handle), I'll find a pic, and take 100 names(not yet, need to find the blade) and draw a random # for it next.

This is complete Greek to me.

You're not going to get 100 names in here, lol. We do little semi-giveaways here and there, but they are small and short. This is a pay it forward thread, where people offer items, and other people pick em up. 100 people saying "hey I'm in vector12!" will really clog the thread.

 

[stvpourciau]

People dont get 100 emails even when the items are without a catch.

Lionesser has still received 0 on the ask that's been up for many days now..

I've had a few things up since last PIF (granted, they're nothing to write home about....I'm actually going to use one of them to experiment with stonewashing). 100 WITH a catch, don't think it'll get that many

Hey jjoanty01,my friend loves the gloves & sends his thanks,as do I.
