I’ve eaten burro. Tasted like ass.
One may wonder how you know the difference?

Hasn’t everyone?
There's a sales thread with actually a good number of CPK. Where I am struggling to see the credibility of the sale is that there are some fairly high end (apparently, to my admittedly complete cluelessness)... um... light sabers? Everybody has their thing, I suppose. I'm not sure why I find this as silly as I do. Maybe it's because they are described with such mainstream specs and notes on their condition. It's like they are "real light sabers"! I mean, we all know they are toys, right? Right?
I'd just hate for some unsuspecting basement dweller to happen along and think they were getting a real one....
That is why at the very beginning some of us wanted to come up with a thread to accumulate information on the primary bevel edge angles, for all CPK patterns. Such information is not only useful when it comes to sharpening while using a fixed pivot sharpening system but it is also useful for secondary market originals vs tampered with edge angles which is something that must absolutely be disclosed to unsuspecting buyers. To term as just sharpened does not tell the whole story because there's a reason as to why Nathan sharpens his CPK patterns at the angles which he deems correct, according to his exhaustive experimentations and tests to achieve the edge which he deems best to fit the knife and the purposed intended for.
You should buy one of the lightsabers and rehandle it in woodThere's a sales thread with actually a good number of CPK.

Sharpening is one thing, but dueled or not dueled.... that is the question

Me and my wife have been section hiking the Appalachian Trail for a few years. I don’t know how much news coverage the recent attack/murder on the AT has gotten (I found no mention of it on BF), but I can’t believe how it all went down. There was repeated interaction between the nutjob and the people he attacked. I’m a bit stupefied. When we are out there we carry a big can of bear spray. Beyond that we have carbide tipped hiking poles. And of course, I have no less than three knives with me.
The part I’m having a problem with is how much slack these people gave him.
Don’t get me wrong - I’m not blaming the victims. I just can’t fathom being that tolerant.
