Mick told me to use my AR, enjoy it, bang it up and not get anal about taking care of it. For the last two plus months, I have done just that.

Then I saw a thread here where a guy took a picture of a CQC7 next to an AR. The bevel of the AR was perfect, and it looked like it had been polished.

Mine is a tad off on the right side, but you have to look to see it. Big deal, I left it alone and just kept sharpening it to a toothy edge with the Edge pro. Then I saw that picture.

Well, the AR had a small flat spot on the edge, I had used it for more than a week and the wife was going to be out for the evening; I had the time...

Before I was done, the AR had been sharpened, polished, stropped and polished again. The left edge is perfect, the right edge still a bit off, but I have a light touch when it comes to sharpening. Still, the edge is just plain spooky, and I'm sure that the next time I meet Mick at a knife show he's going to take his knife back and give it to someone who will righteously try to destroy it.

Sorry, Mick, I couldn't help myself. I had an old girl friend that said that a diety created Sicilians so that turkeys wouldn't look so stupid. What does she know! But, man, does this thing cut pasta!
 
Mick,

Oh, I do use her! In fact, while I have a large rotation of EDC's, the AR has NOT left my pocket since I purchased it. I even let my wife, the tall blonde crime-fighter known as 'Bevel Beater,' use my AR in the pursuit of truth and opening UPS packages. I await my SnG.

A personal note. Mick, you choked me up in another thread. You, too, have my apologies for that past life. You know why. 'Nuff said.
 
So Karen is "Bevel Beater", huh? I like that!

BTW, I let my wife use my 2002 Commander this morning. I had to warn her to be careful, that it wasn't sharp. I NEVER have to do that when I let her use any of my Striders. If anything, I warn her to be careful, that the Strider is sharp as, well you know...

Mick, I shipped my AR to you yesterday afternoon, USPS Priority Mail, insured for $400. I am going through EXTREME Strider folder withdrawal.

If you can't get to my baby soon, I guess you could just send me a loaner. Say a black G10, no-divot, Tiger Stripe, drop point SnG...
