I been sharpening knives tonight... Something I noticed. The yuma that I have I'm pretty sure was made of adamantium... I damn near broke my stone trying to sharpen the yuma, and I was using hardly any pressure. I just was letting it rest on there and going at it, slowly!

I did manage to sharpen a Magua, a Delica, a 100% Daizee, and an 85% Daizee, and I cleaned up a Cami-11.

Well, 10:00 P.M. my work day is just now coming to a end. Just got done cutting out and gluing up 6 sheaths. I need a leather apprentice. Sheath work with more knives going out is about to become the death of me. Anybody want the job?

you glue them up and punch the holes, I can sew them & sand the edges smooth. :)


OTOH, I give you ---- the Truck Mullet

Anything in particular, other than that sodbuster you posted recently?

I have been creeping around the Trad. s/f. lately. Trying to talk myself out of getting a GEC 81 Abilene Stockman. So far so good.:D

Thanks Trade! (And Kay too!) that is fantastic stuff!

I have half a dozen knives I need to sharpen too. I need to get out the edge pro one night and get em done. There's a couple that are convexed that I want to take back to a v grind and others that are just dull.

This is the thing with having so many knives.... maintenance is practically a full time job. Even the ones I don't use often have to be checked to make sure they're not rusting in their sheaths.

But....first world problems, eh?

Yeah, a couple GEC designs are tempting me. I like the simple ones. They are way-expensive for what I think of as a 'regular-ol'-pocketknife', but I recognize that is antiquated pre-knife-enthusiast thinking. So I'm making a christmas list. :D

All you guys with piles of dull knifes - that's why I got into MAKING them. So now I don't have enough time to get them dull. HA!
*sigh*

But seriously. When a blade I'm carrying/using stops shaving hair, I touch it up. Takes about 45 seconds, and it gets put away sharp. It DEFINITELY helps if you maintain a permanent sharpening & maintenance station so there is no setup/cleanup time involved.
 
I just saw some "Smith and Sons" knives and am intrigued. They have a few Sodbuster style folders that are very nice.

Now that I have a little soddie, that particular itch is scratched. Hard to be that sort of satisfaction for $24.

I normally do have a fairly permanent station setup. However my supervisor at work asked me to touch up a couple of his blades on Thursday at the office so I had to break down the station to take it in.

I never really had an itch for traditional knives. My buck from my granddad is enough for me.

me neither, though I've had a few. Turns out there's a whole 'nother level... and that's what I just discovered. Dammit.
 
Speaking of....

Good job, Todd! Now, lets see if I can wait a few more days without spoiling the surprise....
