you can borrow mine if you'd like.
Ever try a work sharp system? I have one, I was quite skeptical on how well it would work, but damnit it the thing just doesn't crank out a stupidly sharp blade that holds an edge for considerable abuse.
But it looks sooo pimp.
I paid $30 to replace the Pampered Chef slap chop I broke that my wife loves. But she can't be trusted around knives, so.
you could sharpen that with an angle grinder
bonus if you set the RPM high enough it will launch the veggies straight into your wokYou really don't need a knife when you have an angle grinder.
I have an 8" Shun Kiritsuke. It is gorgeous and cuts beautifully, too. (Makes great gifts for parents as a bonus. They have fancier finishes and the like as options.)

My wife doesn't give a crap about our knives, therefore I gave up on trying or being fancy. Bevel set on extra coarse diamond plate, then coarse, then I take it to a 800/4000 japanese synthetic POS and strop on rough cloth. Jeans work fine.
Two days later, the knife back to rubbish edge.All my straights have hollow or extra hollow grind so the decision was made by the grinders. I finish the razors on my European and Japanese finishers that are said to be an equivalent of 30,000 grit - they fall apart during honing and achieve progressively finer edge. Interesting thing is, the finest rocks producing the smoothest shaves do not produce mirror polish that happens in the neighborhood of 12k.
Heh, that's why I bought some knives that my wife uses. A mix of Heckels and Victorinox.These should do: http://www.japanesenaturalstones.com/for-razors/

For knives, I don't use any systems, I just do my best by hand, usually resulting in a minor double bevel on finer stones. I have some convex blades that are best finished on loose strop with a paste. I am a geek into razors and my knife honing skills are just a spill-over from that, pretty average.
I busted the clear plastic cover thing slap chopping too aggressively. It was $20 for a new cover, or $30 for the whole damn thing.
the OXO version is like $15
That would be like telling my wife she doesn't need a Coach handbag.
your wife doesn't need a coach handbag.That would be like telling my wife she doesn't need a Coach handbag.
Nice. Most my knives that are scandi I converted from the double bevel. Time consuming, but worth it.These should do: http://www.japanesenaturalstones.com/for-razors/

does anyone know who the shit heel is that got him fired?
(que memories .......)
You mean a Gipsy?
no not necessarily. I was just a kid but I believe he was a czech guy, so literally bohemian. That word isn't negative to me, gypsy is.
Dude still comes around these parts doing the same, bell ringing and all. Though its more of a suspect white van that's been to Vietnam and back type of deal. I think I used him to sharpen the blade on my parents lawn mower once.
Most of those arrows point towards John Wilson - Wilson formed Friends of Harper Creek and Lost Cove Wilderness and submitted comments to the Forest Service opposing the MOU. Got the Wilderness Society President to turn against Martin, and when Martin refused to cave, they fired him.
I could get on-board with that idea...but hard work and open conversation got everyone to the table before, and I think it will eventually prevail in getting them back there again. If anything, it showed that the multitudes of user groups could work together and actually want very similar outcomes. Nobody wants to see the environment harmed and all want to be responsible stewards of it - the rhetoric by the loud-talkers just sometimes gets in the way of the calm and reasonable voices.
if you've already got your crew in one boat, and the captain is bein' a dick, it's time you stage a mutiny.
Everyone knows a guy. Buy a bundle of Heroin ($200). Entice junky with half and the other half when the job is complete... Digits are better then kneecaps. Kneecaps are rather durable. More so then most people realize. You can just stomp on digits, no weapons required. If you're going to risk a charge, make sure its one your Lawyer can easily get you off of. Fucking amateurs...
Doesn't PayPal always lean towards the buyer for disputes? If they're Canadian, do Interac etransfer, once you get the moneys, it'll be impossible for them to reverse it.
OK let's call them Romani. I am asking because in my childhood, it was Romani traveling craftsmen who would sharpen knives, scissors and fix broken umbrellas.
