The Deep End

[Casinostocks]

Not so much the deep end, but rather the shallower side of the pool. Just some pics of the recent additions. Finally managed to strop the GSO 10 to reasonable paper cutting sharpness. This one prefers the blade to feel its weight into the strop leather and slightly more pressure than just let its own weight to glide. 5 on each side with the said method on black / green and then 10 per side on the white compound finally did it. I oiled up the handle a little bit because it was rather lackluster and dry. The oil (one dab of coconut per side) did not make the handles slippery at all!

Apologies for my umbrella casting its color on the surface of the tumbled blades. Anyway, enjoy:

The gso10 can get insanely sharp.

I'm thinking with all these hardware I have and will be accumulating, I may as well start saving the pennies dropping inside my couch for a W.E.P

Is this your YT channel Bobby? Very impressive to have the beefy and hefty GSO 10 cut thin paper just using gravity, in a vertical fashion

Whoa! I was behind on this thread, but now I finally found the pics of Casino's latest acquisitions. Sweet! :thumbup:

Thanks Mr. Silver. It only came in the mail yesterday. I take back my words for calling it ugly in the past. It grew on me really fast

Ha! Good to hear. Tall blades get me all hot and bothered, so that old spec 10 really appeals to me. Thoughts on how the 10 compares to the LC?

Great pics Casino. Does that 5 have a slight recurve?

Will be a quite a while before I get a chance to go up to Northern Cali to do a real field test, but I will do some "urban" testing once I settle on which LC to keep

before I forget, I will get back to your detailed email later in the eve

No, the GSO 5.0 is just straight with a belly and a drop nose / head or whatever the correct term is.
If you see a curve, it must be the photography angle. That thing is stupid sharp!

Yes, I'm an addict to my core!

CPK is an awesome sub forum with very friendly folks and some who are cross overs

Worth your while to get out once in a while and BTW, your fave thread was finally locked up
