Pimping to reduce boredom?

Anyone else find themselves modifying things just to temporarily reduce boredom? I find that screwing up knives is really relaxing and takes my mind off of things that seem beyond my control.

Anyway, yesterday work was slow so I pulled out the knife I was carrying and a jewelers file set I was wanting to try out and made the jimping a lot meaner on the knife I happened to be carrying. This is hilarious because I have gone on record before as saying that I do not like jimping...I sort of figured I would put some deep and wide jimping on this to try some "extreme" jimping and if I hate it, I can simply remove it.

While I was at it I pulled out the strop and brightened up the polish job I did on the spine too.

Oh well, as I said I was bored and I just wondered if anyone else does stupid stuff like this when you get bored.

I did take some photos to perhaps assist you with your boredom.

I don't pimp to reduce boredom, mainly because I don't have the means to, but I do like to sharpen or make lanyards when I have trouble sleeping or just to kill time.
 
I did a lot more pimping when I was single.


Now I just dont have the time as much.

i just sharpen everything i can find, and your jimping looks really good.
If you don't like that knife now, feel free to send it to me!:D
