Ah, thank you sir! Tradewater(hallowed be thy name) told me about soaking it upside down in linseed oil and what it would do, but I didn't understand why it works.

I'm amazed you remembered that. Moment of clarity?
 
Hey Trade, did you end up using those shitty liners I sent? Well I don't know if they are shitty but they were hard to make! I went back to using plastic.
 
I did. They are on my 9. That's about the most honored place they could be. Thanks again.
 
I don't know if its just me but the tone of the show changed. Like I said it could be me but I love it.
 
Ever since I bought my CZ SP01 early this fall I have meant to order a few extra mags, but never got to it. When I realized everyone was buying up mags I looked around for a couple and couldn't find any. I ended up backordering them a few places and got on a few email notification lists. Backorders haven't came through and the one email notification I didn't read til a half hour after they sent it, so when I went to order a few they were already sold out. I was sleeping today when my phone went off and woke me up, so I looked at it to see what the notification was for and one place had just gotten mags in stock so I jumped out of bed and ran to the computer and managed to get in an order for 2 19 round mecgar mags before they sold out again. WOOHOO!!!
 
My suit tailor is finally coming back to America. He comes to the US every year, but only hits St. Louis every other year. It's been two years since I got my suit from him now. It's pretty impressive that it has lasted this long.

It's also nice that he doesn't work in asialand. But he comes over from England. It may not be US-Made but it is damn near it!

Do you get them tailored with a custom Becker pocket?
 
How idiot-proof is blueing a knife? Dare I give it a shot on the actual knife i want blued or should i abuse some practice knives first?
 
I have never blued a knife, but you look good in Gold, GarnetandBlack.
Thanks for supporting the forum.:thumbup:

Sometimes you just get lucky. Found this Frictionite 00 at a flea market yesterday for two bucks. Kind of the holy grail of hones and it's hard to describe the edge they'll put on. Competition lumberjacks use them on their axes.

Hard work and clean living pays off again :D.
 
All my knives are so dull. I need to invest in a good sharpening system. Thinking about getting a KME. And a leather strop...I have a Japanese whetstone but can't get a decent edge on my big Beckers with it

I'd say very, but having worked in the computer field for the last 10 years, I've learned it's possible for someone to out-idiot anything! However, just get your blade nice and clean and wipe on the liquid blue with a cotton ball or old t-shirt. as long as you don't let it pool, you'll get a nice even finish.

Nice find! My last good bench stone broke when we moved, but between my strop, sander, and Sharpmaker, I've not gotten around to replacing it.
