I finally got myself a Spartan Harsey Fighter!  This is one knife I want to have around if shit ever goes south for any reason!  It is solid, comfortable and built like a tank!  Spartan really knows how to make a knife!

[NBK] Civivi Cloud Peak Reivew

An Unexpected Classic Outdoor Knife, but a Welcome One The Cloud Peak continues a tiny section of Civivi’s line that I have always wanted them to expand on: Normal looking fixed blades. Up to now, they’ve mostly put out fixed blades that look like rejected Star Trek prototypes (with all due respect to Maciej Torbé; ... Read more

[KnifeNews] Benchmade Osborne Gets MagnaCut in New Burnt Copper Line

Benchmade has dropped a new suite of special Osborne variations this month. The new Burnt Copper Aluminum sub-series brings an entirely new look into the long-running knife family, along with a very desirable blade steel. Yes, we certainly do not need to discuss the Benchmade Osborne at this point, as it is easily one of […]

On artful bullet there is a thread about sharpening.  One of the members makes his living at it, traveling a fair distance to service his clients in a big circular route. Another one does it professionally as well.  They both gave some good info on using a strop. Evidently, polishing to a super fine edge actually makes resharpening unnecessary for up to a year if it doesn't get abused, just strop after each use.

I last used an old barber's strop I found in the back porch when I was a kid. I had no clue about jeweler's rouge back then. I just used it as I found it. It did improve an already sharp edge quite a bit. I'd forgotten all about that so I ordered this one from Amazon.

Since it comes with four different abrasives I think I'll make another one from the scraps I have laying around to experiment with the two coarser grades.
At first, I thought 7 grams of each grade wouldn't last long, but at 1 gram per application and not needing reapplication until 30-50 uses, most likely there'll be some left for the dumpster after my funeral.
I bet my victorinox 8" chef's knife is really going to be a joy to use!

[KnifeNews] Benchmade Set to Drop AXIS Assist Workhorse Next Month

Benchmade’s been busy lately, revealing a couple new projects – chief among them the new PSK (Personal Survival Kit), a heavy duty, all-terrain folder. Virtually every company under the sun has put out a drop point or two. We imagine it’s difficult to imprint an identity on the ubiquitous profile – but Benchmade’s managed to […]

So, I'm sitting around doing nothing and am almost done with that project.
I dug out my carborundum stone and am attempting to reshape my broken-tip kizer activ bantam.  If I had a bench grinder set up I would use that with light passes, but I don't. My stone is saw-backed, so I'm using the ends for this project. Someday I'll get around to truing the stone again.
It's a slow tedious process, almost makes me think I'm still working on my doing nothing project, just putting more effort into it.🙄
Anyway, I'm slowly making progress along with a bunch of slurry.
