Rainy dreary chilly day here, but needs must and all that. Things still call to be done.

Ref: "Actually, what makes someone use a grinder to sharpen a knife, anyway?"
I believe the answer may lie in ignorance. And remember, ignorance (lack of knowledge) can be cured by education.
Example: I used one of these, off & on, beginning at about the age of 7, down the hill at my Grandpa's house in Minnesota, . Then I began to learn learn better ways to sharpen.
Note! I continue to learn, all these years later.

That’s awesome. Like Primble Primble says, I’d like to have it as well. For grinding an old file into a blade.

I would actually like to have that grinder. It could be useful. I wouldn't use it to sharpen though. :thumbsup:😍 I'm thinking swedges or re-profiling old blades.




I expect they are trying to sharpen the edge and it skates across the flats .... in the case of bench grinders they skate the flats against the wheel ..... with A Dremel tool they decide to use it to remove a carbon spot and it either skates or leaves a nice deep divot. It must be fairly easy to learn how to do all that, as I have seen endless instances of their magical talents. ;) 🤣 :(

Yeah… it was just a rant. A dremel is awfully handy, but bad things happen quickly.
The magic comes in when the seller’s photos don’t show it🙄

GEC only cranks out one F&F knife per year? What was last year’s?

What really set my imagination going was poking around the ruins.
I searched on the ‘net, but could not find my favorite castle ruin. It was in the west, in the Highlands, on a little knob for defensive reasons. Some walls were down, and there were no longer any floors or ceilings, but what was there was safe to explore and climb.
I see your expected arrival made it. As I cut and dissected a grapefruit last night, I was thinking that funny looking blade would make a helluva grapefruit knife.
Nice Oregon Trapper!

Very Nice Bone on the NY Co - I would like to see GEC replicate or produce a bone similar to that handle

Thank you. :thumbsup:😊
Your Northfield has some excellent gnarly stag and seems to go well with the little horny toad you captured. A feller could get stuck by that little critter ....... ouch ! 😲
Not anything much different than the cat claws that stuck in the sole of my feet to wake me up this morning, I reckon. 🐈‍⬛ 🤣
 
A light smattering of snow last night - maybe an inch that will be gone by noon or so. Not even worth shoveling. Coco liked it - walked around in it outside for about half an hour, came back in the house, let me dry her off, and then snoozed the night away. Breaking the A. Wright, Case, GEC, rut and toting this Buck 2-blade (clip & sheepfoot) 301 Stockman with Black Burlap Micarta covers today. It's a nice knife. Just might carry the Blade Forum 2018 version of it with Elk covers tomorrow - game day. Sausage, two eggs up, and raisin bread toast with cinnamon for breakfast.
