What kind of sharpened edge is sharp

Good thread Bruce. My small blades get a polished edge from about 600 grit. My hunters and big blades get a 320 edge with no buff. No complaints yet. Lots of coments on skiners being to sharp and cutting holes in hides. Some people just don't know how to skin a animal or have never used a truely sharp knife.
As for tonights BBQ it was ELK tenderloin medalions marrinated in ginger sauce then wraped in smokey bacon strips. Beats the hell out of squirrel.
 
Hey now, if we are going to be that way Antelope beats the
hell out of elk:D
Hey Bruce see what you started:D :p
 
Hey all I can say is a poor man has poor ways, squirrel beats the hell out of chipmunk soup. :barf:

Bill :D
 
If you can afford shells to hunt squirrels
ten you ain`t poor. The only that I can
afford is water soup:D :p
 
The only good use we have found for Antelope is peperonie. You don't have to use to many spices. The only bad thing is that you have to drink a LOT of beer to git rid of the Antelope sage taste.
But this may not be altogether bad.
As far a squirrel goes I lived on squirrel, rabbit and KD for two years by choice when I worked for the forestery. Snares don't cost as much as ammo and don't attract as much attention.;)
 
I think I will try the polished edge followed up witha fine diamond stone on my Bowies and working knives and the smaller ones will get the same edge that I am using now,and see what happens.
Man I was supposed to get a elk last year from a game ranch and didn't get to making the guy a knife in trade for it.Now I think I will try and get it this year,You guys are making me hungry again,and It's to late to cook something.I guess that some tenderloins in milk gravy on biscuits in the morning wouldn't be to bad;) I guess I should say that that sounds great..
22 shels are allot cheaper than shotgun shells or high powered rife shells.And if you are a good shot you can get a mess of squirrels for little of nothing.....Guess I need to get the bow out and practice some so I can go hunting and see what i can get,That is even cheaper than 22 shells as I am using all handmade equipment that I traded for last year and I can make my own arrows from cane out in the hollow behind the house,and I can forge my own Broad heads...

Darn Bruce, it sounds like you and Dockrell should get together, we could call you the lone park ranger and tonto.:D :D SORRY
 
Don't you mean " Tanto " :p
Heck Anybody can shoot a deer or anything along ways away with a rifle,But with a bow you got to be right there on top of them and that can mess with you...:D
I also love gun hunting,I aint very steady as I don't shoot that much.NO!!!! I won't give up my GUNS!!! either....
