Anytime, my friend. While the spear on the 99 is very useful, I sometimes daydream ebony shadow pattern 99 with a clip blade.

Carried this hard worker today.

Now THAT is what a sharpening choil should be like from the factory, is that your work?

Hot oven in hot weather, but must have bread.

Perfect, background for this #15

I'll have to use this some more to be sure if it's stainless. It's nice and compact, but not very big!

Did the sandpaper and toothpick trick and got pull down from 10 to about an 8. Much better.

can you detail that trick for me/us? sounds helpful.

@315 another 1911, rare Colt XS compact with factory beavertail safety, ambi safety, combat sites and fancy grips resting on Sparks leather. Heart is a WIP. Can't keep this TC out of my pocket.

For some reason cheap and fairly crude but highly functional knives are quite appealing to me, like this one. It was new to me and unused/unsharpened, I put real "ultra honed" edges on it yesterday.

I know what you are saying about bringing a crude blade up a notch or two. It's called "making a silk purse out of a sow's ear"

Well by crude I mean the f&f, it's got tool marks, sharp edges (not detrimental to me but noticeable), proud springs, gaps and such. But the blades are ground well, tight and snappy and fairly lean behind the edge. The cutting performance is superior to a huge amount of knives out there that cost anywhere from 2x to 300x as much or more as it cost, and that's why I like it.

Tuesday tote.

My wine was bubbling over in the gallon jugs so I split it to two for the first fermentation. Oxygen is ok for now, I’ve learned. I’ll recombine it after I strain and the top it off next week. The warren helped me cut some cheesecloth to cover them with.
