The CZickness XLIV Girding our loins for 2022

[MindfulMan]

Very Nice! I use the Razor Edge hones and guides developed by John Juranitch, but have been eyeing this system for some time now. Especially for my son-in-law. He didn't like my set up, so we've tried the Ken Onion Work Sharp. Even though I warned him to be careful and not create a tail on the blade, voilà, his knives have tails. This system looks almost foolproof.

I have the original version. They've actually improved it (more precise angle adjustment).

There's nothing that says that a man can't own two snow shovels ..... I shall order one of yours to try !

Not only has this kind been better for my back it also saves me about 10 minutes in shoveling my driveway. I don't have to stop several times while shoveling to give my back some rest and rethink some of my life choices. LOL

The hands move so fast you can't see them!

I remember adjusting the shutter speed several times .... until the effect was just right .

I'm not sure that's a benefit. The mind must clear .... like pulp settling-out of a glass of apple juice.

I’m a big fan of ESEE knives. Somewhere I have an original Izula packed away, but these two are always on standby. The 6 is my watermelon slicer and the RB3 is my favorite for camping. Got that one on our Honeymoon from Smokey Mountain Knife Works.

The "6" is a big cutter. Very cool.

It’s my favorite fixed blade. It does about everything well! Makes a great steak knife too.

It’s a sweet knife! A little big for belt carry around town though….

Looking to part with this underused firearm. Low round count, well cared for, in excellent condition. Comes with box, goodies, and 3 additional 15 round magazines (5 total). If anyones interested, I also have a IWB Blackarch holster that can go with it. It was used less than the firearm. For...

Final Izula photo for the evening. A near-mirror edge.
I took it down to 6000 grit, then gave it a whiff of diamond paste.

Yup, and not the two that most were picking. Matt Stafford deserves a ring after his time at Detroit.

I bet that edge is slicker'n snot.

...A near-mirror edge...

A couple of times across leather with or without polish puts that final mirror polish on.

This one I made has a touch of green polishing compound on it and the leather is 11"x2.5"

Although a strop can be useful, I take no chances (even minutely ) of changing the sharpening angle ! The final 'mirror edge' lasts so briefly in actual use, it's benefit is only good for photos, IMO.








imo.

I'm sure that you've seen the 'scarf' scene in the movie, The Bodyguard.
It's close to that sharp, and this ain't a movie, amigo !
