Hey TW! Let's see your knives!

Yea. I'm there. That "randy" guy beat me to a MP kephart that sold for $170. That one hurt to miss.

 

Btw everyone. REI is selling CASE knives for $17 plus change. Cheap!!!

I have a yellow hunter on the way. It was my first knife. First cut , and first lost knife. (I think my mom took it in my sleep when I cut myself. I was 9)

 

Last time I went to Disneyland, the ticket lady at the front gate called a "117k" or something cryptic like that on me. I'm guessing she saw the pocket clip. They escorted me out and told me to either toss it or return it to my hotel room. Since I was dropped off, I was forced to toss it. Upset by my rookie mistake, I ordered another one from Amazon while riding the train to New Orleans Square. Take that Disney! This is why I own a cheapo pocket knife.

 

I happen to be carrying a case today as well as my 52 schrade walden

 

That's odd... my Helle came with different instructions that didn't make mention of their own sharpener. It just mentioned how to get the angle correct, the sharpening motions, and recommended types of stones.

 

Not my best money spent. Hehe

 

Think I've done about all I can to the Wilbert. In the collection she goes.

Pretty cool design I think.

 

Picked up a Case Trapper. $18 at REI.

 

Where are they manufactured? @aficianado

 

USA on the package.

 

Another client's knife I sharpened tonight on the edge pro. Turns out its a legitimate GI jet pilot survival knife. I think it was as tough if not tougher to put an edge on than my 30 year old Cold Steel knives. I'm amazed it turned out so well.

Last pic shows the mirror edge if you zoom in on it

 

Anyone who's into CRKTs go join CRKT underground on Facebook. Cool group of guys and they're doing custom squids for guys on the page

 

I've only got a m21 right now. My little brother is a cadet at the citadel and he mentioned the other day he needed a knife and he was the only one that didn't have one so I just gave him what was in my pockets which was my KISS. So now I'm down to only one lol. I'm gonna try to get a squid next from that group

 

So my new little knife showed up finally.
Here it is next to my chive. Not sure about it yet....

 

It's not bad in the hand, but it needs some adjustment to the pivot and lock. Not expecting much. Might be one to leave in the studio.

 

Anyone ever copper plated?

 

I did copper plateing in college.....

 

I used to do tin and silver plating in a semiconductor fab years ago. Required cyanide and sulfuric acid baths. Nasty stuff.
