How does the sharpener work?

Is it good? :)

It's an 80's Schrade Old Timer Honesteel...you sharpen a blade with the flat sides and touch up (realign edge) on the edge of the steel. Works great with 1095 blades. I have Gerber Sportsman steels that work the opposite..(sharpen on the edge and touch up on the flats)

You're meant to hold it like this.....

.....but I generally just use it like a stone or hold one end and support the opposite end on a table or something. Works like a chisel too....on processing game (pelvis etc).

Getting your teeth pulled today?

Fish on a Friday....


I pull them out myself these days! :D I was only in the chair 2 minutes to get an X-ray taken. My next appointment is Valentine's Day, previously it was Friday the 13th, I think I get all the slots nobody else wants! :D

That's a great pic :thumbup: Get it in the workout thread! ;)

A while back I finally got to try mushy peas, had 'em on water crackers with malt vinegar and thought they were quite tasty! The wife wouldn't even venture a try though, she thought they were "unnatural!"

Your wife is right Duane! :D My dad thought that the same of fresh peas! :eek:

Hey Jim,

It's a Schrade Walden no. 163 rope knife. Used to be a sharp-cornered sheepsfoot blade, but has been sharpened into a curve by previous owners. These are actually pretty common on the "big auction site," and usually not very expensive. Often, there is a company name or logo embossed on the handles, sometimes a bail or a lanyard hole, and usually the handles are more square and less polished (this one is kinda unique with its lack of a lanyard hole and its smooth finish on the wood... although there are holes in the brass scales to accomodate a hole drilled in the wood covers).
Thanks for your comments! :)
