      Of course you do!

      Strange enough that those knives have no real relation to anything seabound - the next shore is roughly 400 km away.  Anyway: Perfect tools for posers like me!

              Last couple times I was at Blade, I wound up spending most of it behind Jerry Hossom's table shooting the shit with him

              You get to see the new Zero Tolerance 0777?

                  Nah, not with the current exchange rates but it does showcase the Perrin money clip well. I'll try to get some better pics tomorrow. The Terzoula is pretty damn slick.

                    So, the first two to review are the William Henry EDC and the Perrin necker. The Perrin is what I believe to be 1095 carbon steel hand forged by Fred himself. It is Wickedly sharp and because of the edge geometry, is a real slicer. At $50 with a lyres sheath, it was my deal of the show. The William Henry is an AG Russell collab and features a hand rubbed D2 blade and anodized aluminum slabs with mammoth ivory inserts. It has a nice thin profile and like the Perrin is a really great performer. D2 is one of my favorite steels and if treated right, is hard to beat. The button lock and action are smooth as silk. I would say this knife is easily comparable to the CRK Mnandi without reservation.

                        That price is ridiculous though, Alex…

                        Anyone with some advice on how to properly sharpen a Sebenza, btw?.. I was thinking of shipping mine to Chris to have the clip replaced and have it sharpened... I have a small sharpening block but it doesn't do very much...

                            You're probably best off with a V jig system, like a Lansky or a Spyderco Sharpmaker

                            I used a Sharpmaker for years before I learned to freehand sharpen on a belt sander

                                I went for the lansky and am pretty satisfied with it.  It's not (or I am not) particularly quick, but I'm really happy with the edges I have been able to get using it.

                                  Most custom knife makers use a belt sander or a wheel grinder to put the final edge on their knives. I learned this technique from Jerry Hossom, who in my opinion, makes some of the best knives ever

                                  I can't find a method that gets my knives as sharp as the belt sander, and it takes under a minute to put a new edge on

                                    Just remember with the Sharpmaker or the Lansky: once you get to the very tip of the knife, take it off the rod. Don't slide the knife off the rod or you'll take the tip off

                                      I thought some of you might enjoy these. They are all Hen & Rooster knives from the late 70s when AG Russell owned the company. I'm a big fan of AG's designs because of the Western flair he puts into his folders. IMO, you would be hard pressed to find a better production knife from any era. The blade finish, walk and talk, the scales are all matched beautifully, and the springs are all mirror polished on the inside! The knives listed are the coffin handled "straight arrow", vest pocket skinner, and the savage canoe.

                                        I'm a big fan of AG's product as well. His new Sodbusters are getting phenomenal reviews

                                        I'm eyeballing his Pinched Peanut in mammoth ivory myself…
