        I found that once I started wearing a business suit on trips I stopped getting searched.

            Took delivery of a sharpmaker today, amazing bit of kit. It got my abused, never sharpened 20+ year old buck 110
            shaving sharp in under 10 minutes on the first try 😎

              yea, those are awesome.  Unfortunately, when we moved this last time, that was the only damn thing that got lost in transit.  None of my wife's shoes or other excess bullshit failed to make it.  Just my sharpmaker 😢

                I've got three good Japanese stones, I've watched tons of YouTube sharpening videos, and I'm still scared I'm going to feck them up.

                    I find it ironic that they claim these knives are "hand crafted" but are stamped out a dozen at a time

                    I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

                      Yeah, they should say, "hand crafted from blanks stamped 12 at a time." What impact does stamping the blanks have on long term quality? It would be cool if they had a "heritage" line that was all hand done, or better yet Damascus.  I'm just such a sucker for that beautiful leather grip…

                        Stamping can cause stress fractures in the steel

                        Also, I'm not sure that high end steels can be stamped. Ka Bar uses cheap steel

                        Most high end knives are hand cut, laser or water jet cut

                        Bark River Knives makes nice stacked leather handles. I've heard there are issues with their warranty service though

                            got it wrong >:(, its a buck 112,
                            still love this knife, even though I've added a few modern folders recently. Shame the british law is so blinkered (imo!)

                            edit, the edge looks pretty ragged there, more work ahead… ??? 😢

                              my pick ups from the weekend, more a old knife guy then modern


                              not a switch blade (god i wish it was) but still a pretty slick little italian made number
                              really dig the lock on it


                              don't you know there ain't no devil? only god when he's drunk!

                                            Turned out that making new scales for the Griptilian is way harder than for a regular, fully-lined knife. The liner demands it's own cut-outs and so does the axis-lock mechanism. Decided to try out scalemaking on an easier project and splurged for the Kevin Wilkins custom scales since the stock ones are horrible 🙂 The end result is a really expensive but hopefully super-nice Benchmade.. Got the black ones with a red anodized spacer.

                                            Pics when they get here.

                                            On a side note, getting to know stuff that custom knife makers do is not good for the "want"-side in me. Already thinking about getting a Leafstorm at some point and a small handmade fixed blade would be nice (as if I had any use for something like that 🙂 ) and and and….

                                            AIAN HA-TO!
