What blade did you EDC today?

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.

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.

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.

Heh, sneaky indeed. Thanks for the info.

I guess I’ll stick to stropping my knives.

The word “stone,” when applied to this sharpener, is somewhat misleading. It is two sheets of diamond-impregnated material glued to some kind of block. I presume the block in the middle is plastic. The whole thing is less than 1/4” thick. Maybe five millimeters.

That’s classy.
What is it made of?

DuPont white “corian” with red fiber backing.

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.

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.

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

Just re size images to 1200x800 and you should be good enough that most will be able to see it.

The knife is 7/8” long closed. The blade is 9/16”.
