My coworker has a portable SEP generator that he uses to avoid DemonLady. Wish he'd loan it to me.
izzat a bird or an appendage?...
LOL!! No, never dreamed of having buffalo. Steve has, though...but wild, running through our range like in the olden days.
I don't think that's gonna happen...
Oh how I do love that one. ;OD
Always assume every firearm is loaded, and every knife is sharp as a scalpel. Especially after I get done stropping them. Those little knives got the same treatment our top-of-the-line Camillus fighting knife gets.
I find sharpening the knives very satisfying, because it's a chance to put a little bit of my own personal effort into each knife before it goes out. But I have every sharpening device known to man, and constantly look for something better. One can never have enough tools.
I've been concerned during the entire life of our project about keeping the knives sharp once in the hands of the troops. The CRKT, with its one-sided chisel grind, needs a skilled hand in sharpening. Knives with the standard V-grind can be handled with more conventional jig sharpeners that do a good job without demanding much skill on the part of the user.
A while back, an online knife store had a sale on $4 Gerber ceramic sharpeners for $1. I bought 20, and have sent them out with larger shipments of knives. Ceramic is good for maintaining an edge on these high-tech steels, but real sharpening demands diamonds.
Now I'm getting (I hope) Gerber diamond sharpeners for $2 each. This time I was bolder, and ordered 100. I hope I get all 100 without any hassle. Dealers start asking questions when large quantities are involved.
The bottom line is, a sharp knife is a safe knife. When you know it's at its sharpest, you know you can use less force in cutting, with less chance of the blade taking off in unexpected directions.
LOL!
Yep, this one got me good...the question of how sharp it is was answered. Sliced right into the side of my thumb.
I still love it!
Good night! I'm off to take my hot soak.
Good night!
What kinda kinky baseball game is that?

Just dropped 9 of the nylon sheath stlye CQB's (3 big, 6 small) in the mail to ya. They had been sitting around awhile with me forgetting to mail them.
I didn't even ask here. Why open the worm can? The 6 assorted bullet-launchers stay in the closet anyway...took two of them out to the Silver Bullet a few weeks ago...but distance to the car was 30 feet vertical and 40 horizontal, so big deal.
Am I incoherent first thing in the morning, or what?
LOL!! what a sign to wake up to.
LOL!! now that's funny.
Good morning all! It's almost seven and i'm out to the garden before this wonderful,cool weather turns into eighty degrees of humidity hell.
Well, I wasn't going to say anything.... :)
Good morning!
Mom's coming for a visit today - and I'm going to take the rest of the week off. Hurray!
