What did you accomplish today?

[WeedFreak78]

I sharpened some of my kitchen knives last night. I couldn't find my super fine stone last night, so I took off my belt and stropped them on it. Worked awesome. This morning while I was making breakfast I boiled some vinegar and blued them. Came out nice, one had some really nice grain show up. Just gotta do a final lap to get them back to razor sharp. If it can't cut like this, it's not good enough.

My dad would sharpen his knives almost daily.
If it would not shave he would not carry it.


He would sit with a whetstone and chant with each stroke
"Snip snap, snip snap, snip snap snear I'm gonna cut off a piece of lokie's ear"

Substitute any kids name that may be near him. He liked to see the look on their faces
when he said cut off the ear part.

No wonder you fit in so nicely here

I just look at it as a $6 annual ashtray subscription. It's emptied and put in the community recycling bin. I don't put it in the trash.

Attended my first cannabis expo today, and it was awesome. Came home with a bag full of stuff that I needed as well as some RQS seeds.
Took an old rasta friend along for the day, he was grey already when I was still a kid

Just watched a deer smash into the side of a vehicle that was slowing down to let them pass. I'll upload the video when I get home.

I can get some of my knives shaving-sharp, and others not. I suspect that my eyesight and steadiness of hand are major factors in this.

And just when I learned how to use a waterstone. Moo.

At least the rhyme wasn't "snip snap, snip snap, snickety-snick" ...

I think you can write off a modern car by throwing a tennis ball hard at it.

you can.....the newest cars are POS, i got one here at the shop and it's the biggest POS i've ever seen and it's supposed to be a high end car.....

I'm busy smoking my first blunt...
Is a bit heavy as I haven't smoked in a while, but the flavour is quite good.
I reckon 4 won't kill me, I took one of each they had, well it was four 2 packs, but I gave one of each to my friend.

I think Lancia were the pioneers in that regard - they used structural steel foil

Could be inferior steel. I have one cheaper knife I can see minor scaling on the edge and I can never get it as sharp as the rest. If its older it may need the edge rehardend. I redid my great grandmother's knife years ago for my grandmother. It was half is original width and into soft steel in the middle. I let that knife go when they sold the house

How do you sharpen? Push the blade or pull the blade? Just had a big debate with my roommate, he pushes, I pull.
We can both get razor sharp edges, so it's probably not a big deal. I was just taught you get a sharper edge pulling because it aligns the grain.

To me this is more a function of body position, ergonomics and coordination than anything.
I usually pull but sometimes the handle or angle of blade to handle dictate otherwise.

me and a buddy of mine got up to 8th and 9th gen one time, shit wouldn't even burn anymore.......
