Young knife collectors/users - deux

[spydercobenchmadekai]

I am home schooled so I still have school. :grumpy:

Same here.

However...today I shadowed our State Senate Majority Leader, Senator Rollie Heath. He is one of our neighbors, and is a very nice fellow.

Knife content; here's almost all of the knives that I have made in a group shot. They are lined up with my first one at the top, and my most recent (the Micarta one) at the bottom.



And here is a cool picture of the last two:

You can tell how your work is improving over time by the picture. Keep up the good work!

 

[spydercobenchmadekai]

Thanks! And yes, the improvement is there for sure, even if it isn't as fast as I would have liked...

 

[Theknife]

Huge improvements sbk. How long have you been doing it for?

 

[spydercobenchmadekai]

The top two knives where made in August.

 

[G.Moll]

In on 4! Is there a consolation price?

Yep, you get 10 brownie points. (joke from previous thread)

Hey guys, I whittled my first hair today! With an OSo sweet and sharpmaker + strops!

I still don't understand what that means

cool! How do you like the sharpmaker? I use a lansky with guide rods and I can get a very sharp edge.

I think it's when you pretty much do what you do with feather sticks but with a strand of hair

I like it! But if I were you I would invest in strops(Email me if you want to know were I got mine) instead of the sharpmaker seeing as you can get a good edge with you're lansky setup.

They sell a stroping attachment for the lansky that I was thinking about buying, and stroping compound.

I'm going to point something out. I'm a little jaded with all of the email me to find out where I got it, you can say as manny names as you want, it's not deal spotting until you post a link...

Good to hear that it's getting some love! You may wonder why it has a slightly different blade profile than the stock picture. The story is this:

The wife of the guy that PIF'ed it to me used it to pry with--she broke the tip off of it.
Her husband reprofiled the tip of a Worksharp.
The husband (forgot his screen name) gave it to me as part of the PayItForward threads.
I carried it a little, but it never really got any use.
I sent it to you as a thank you for the BK&T patch.

Now you know the full story!

How's yours look? This is mine.

 

[spydercobenchmadekai]

Your post makes no sense to me. Are those pictures even of an OSO Sweet?

 

[Rennd]

Haha, I meant his edge. I was comparing edges, I'm a professional knife sharpener. That's a Becker and a Sebenza.

Did you use a sharpmaker with strops only going as fine as the white compound?
