What blade did you EDC today?

I guess thereā€™s some difference between usual shaving sharpness and that competition level sharpness. :slight_smile:

Reprofiled my Koenig Arius to 17Āŗ and mirror finished edge, this is the CTS204 steel, was out mowing in the heat this morning and decided to cut the sleeves off my T shirt, blade slipped through the cotton material like a quality pair of sewing shears would, just effortless. Had to keep thinking itā€™d do my finger the same way if I got carelessā€¦ :wink:

Air temp at 101Āŗ with a heat index around 106Āŗ

Bear Claw Flying Shark:

Came here to look at some knives, now I canā€™t stop thinking about how good Pilsner Urquell is. Been many years since Iā€™ve enjoyed one (many) of those. Canā€™t get it where I live now. :frowning:

Iā€™m lucky because itā€™s quite abundant and inexpensive here. There are also a couple of places where you can find it on tap. Canā€™t you find anything similar in the American pilsner type craft beer offerings?

Enlan M08 frame-lock budget folder (here is my review). It would be quite hard to find any better deal out there with similar specs at the moment. :slight_smile:

I currently reside in Utah. All beer here is limited to 3.2% unless I go to the state run liquor store. Which is overpriced. :frowning:

I guess they would ask for a permit to buy this Gulden Draak (10.5%): :person_facepalming:

What make and model is that sheepsfoot slipjoint?

I have a noname version but you can find it at GB labelled as ā€œFura Gearā€ here .

My new Fura Gear titanium flipper:

ā€œusual shaving sharpnessā€ is what Dundee demonstrate.

The Millie is a framelock. It actually has a SS insert for the ball detent which also functions as an overtravel stop that I thought was a nice touch. Itā€™s an exclusive model only sold by knifeworks.com. When I saw it was down to only $199 I had to jump on it.

Sanrenmu should release an Adahn SE version like that! :slight_smile:

Lovocoo SF001

Yes indeed :wink:

But I really like that little folder, too.

Today Iā€™ve just reground the blade of a Fura Kwaiken, the one with the fat flat grind, rather a sharpened prybar than a knife.

Hollow grind is ā€œeasierā€ to do as I thoughtā€¦


@Isti Iā€™ve seen your Ti pen and Iā€™m wondering if thereā€™s any titanium bolt pen where I can use the thin refills.

Or is there some kind of adaptor available?

Thing is I donā€™t really need a standard pen but I often use a silver pen on job to mark leather or EVA foam before cutting.

These refills are the old thin style and itā€™s always difficult to find a good pen for them :frowning:

My titanium tac-pen uses standard Parker style refills (you know the thicker ones).

What did you use for the hollow regrind on that Fura kwaiken? The result looks nice.

Yeah, itā€™s easy to get pens for Parker refills but difficult for those lame old style thin refills
I thought there must be adaptors for that but I couldnā€™t find one

And on that Fura blade I used a belt grinder on job with a maybe 20cm wheel, I can measure it later
I have no work rest thatā€™s why I couldnā€™t make a straight hollow grind with a flat ground tip
The finest belt I have is 80 grit but after a good polish itā€™s not rough anymore (even though Iā€™d prefer something like 200 at least)

I guess Iā€™ll stonewash it later, I just must resist to grind it again to reduce some of the mistakes I made
From my I learned job that the trick is to stop when you canā€™t make it any better instead of continuing to make it worse :wink:

Now the blade swings much better than when it was a folding prybar :stuck_out_tongue:

Did you use some sort of jig for grinding?
Yes, itā€™s always good to know when to stop. I learnt that on my own. :smiley:

Ganzo F713M today. It also begs for modding. :slight_smile:
