Damn that sharpener's a BEAST  ???

[LewisStonehouse]

Yeah dude it’s cool, did a good job sharpening all my knives anyway

@Matt:

@neph93 love that knife.  The steel is ball bearing steel.  Very high tolerance.  Don’t fear the rust.  It’s just knife fades.  Have you mastered the spydie flick?

I have learnt that. Although funnily enough, I learnt it on an MKM knife. I was playing with it one night and figured that if I do «that» then «that» it should flink and it did. I then remembered reading about the spydie flick, Googles it, and had that Gen X superiority rush. It was nice.

@LewisStonehouse:

Anyone got any experience with a Para 3. Just ordered one with a solid discount on it, never had a knife from Spyderco before

Love my Para 3s

But I find I grab this one most of the time - Smock

Enjoy my para3 as well–-but the scales did chew up my pockets pretty quickly.

Just received: Jen Anso small slipjoint (the model name is Monte Carlo), with an orange G10 handle. Jen is a great designer and his execution is flawless.

Exquisite, @JDelage. I'd never heard of them and so gave the knives a look. Just … wow. Beautiful design and lovely finishing.

I just received a kitchen knife from a San Diego, CA based company called Half Face Blades. I was gifted a fixed blade at Christmas and wanted to buy one of their kitchen knives. Made with S35VN, the blade has been given a black cerakote coating along with a paint splatter look. Truth be told, I didn't want this one (I think that it's functionally wonderful but ugly as sin), but I won accidentally on eBay and … well, here we are. I may re-list it and get rid of it.

Sorry to get all Gen Z and post a meme, but I found this “relatable”.

Just got this yesterday. I do have to admit to a bald spot on my left forearm. Just used to get shavings and kindling for a fire. Then had to use it for food prep, just to see if it could. Now cooking over the fire.

I used to check my woodworking chisels for sharpness by shaving my arm too 

[neph93]

When I used my Lansky sharpening kit for the first time I realised how much practice I needed when my newly tooled Spydey couldn’t shave arm hair.

Looks like you stabbed Jackson Pollock  ???

Nice one @Giles. I carry the mini version all the time and it is an amazing knife.

@Giles What knife is that?
