What blade did you EDC today?

Nice blades! I had a Spyderco until i managed to loose it… Then bought Sanrenmu 710, nice little thing, handy at home.
EDC, though… Carbon steel Opinel No8 and i just love it! :8)

I work as a carpenter in a facility where, well, less aggressive look is always better so that anyone gets that knive´s a tool, not a weapon. And even the tools are behind locks. Opinel sits secured in my pocket.
I don´t care that it doesn´t hold the edge that great, it´s more important that i can get it sharpened just about anywhere. The locking mechanism is nice also.
Had to do little mods, grinded it more to drop point for usability and drilled the hole for lanyard. And of course onion treatment to the steel… :wink:

At the end of a day i think i just like it´s simplicity most!

But these new sharpening systems seem to be SWEET! Had to try one… I sharpened a mini grip last night. I wasnt disappointed

There are some really nice systems out there, but I really like the idea of being able to pick up a blade and bring it to razor sharpness by hand. It’s not something that will come without lots of practice though.
I may still pick up something like an Edge-Pro to re profile a knife though.

313

Agreed

314

Sorry for the off topic, but what’s a good 200-300 and 600-800 grit diamond sharpening stone?

I can’t seem to justify spending $70-110 for a DMT diamond stone for a single grit.

Today I gave my 740 DeJavoo a new pair of pants.

I found this set of custom scales on eBay, and had to have them. All the way from Bulgaria.

Now that I have a white knife, I might have to buy a white hat to go with it.

There’s always the DMT double sided DiaSharp. Course/Fine

Thanks, but still a little too expensive for me.

Any ideas about these $10 sharpening stones?

Ryan, those are stones. Diamond is just the brand name.
Pretty sneaky.

320

Heh, sneaky indeed. Thanks for the info.

I guess I’ll stick to stropping my knives.

323

That’s classy.
What is it made of?

324

DuPont white “corian” with red fiber backing.

325

Reminded me of a song that did.

White face, black shirt
White socks, black shoes
Black hair, white strat
Bled white, died black

Sweet gene Vincent
Let the blue cats roll tonight
At the sock hop ball in the union hall
Where the bop is their delight.

Lovely new clothes, I’ve got a piece of Corian, all I lack is the skill.

326

Man, y’all really need to figure out the picture scaling thing!

I have a 24” Pro monitor, the images are way too big for the 1920 pixel screen. Can’t imagine what others see, especially the tablet and phone users.

327

Same here. It still looks stupid big on a 2560x1440 display.
