Sucks about the knife.

Quick question.
Has anyone in here had any experience with burlap micarta on a knife?

No,,,But if I keep buying sharp things, my clothes will be burlap.

Thats too bad on the M9, that will be one of the things I will test on the Regulator, the best thing about it is I won't be buying a CS Recon Scout.

GNight guys.

night fj....hope you got yer truck taken care of!

That's crazy talk! Next you'll be claiming that rocks are heavy and water is wet!

Today I loaned my knife to a woman that was out fishing, and her first comment was "It's sharp!". I don't bother to keep mine at more than paper-shearing, so it's not really sharp as this forum would understand it, but I guess the general populace has pretty strange notions of what sharpness is. Same story with my father and his funny little pocket chisel. Loaned it to somebody, "It's sharp!". Even basic sharpening is nearly a lost art it seems.


Actually I do that for potatoes. And I'm [censored] fast at it. Try not to lose your sanity. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

with out going into it deeply to the point of offending others. which i know you guys know how to play with sharp pointy objects so you dont need the lecture. but yea i hate cooking in other peoples houses and using there knives or worse watching them use theres. knife work is a dying art apparently.

and yea when my friend came over to cook me dinner she was very suprized how easy my knives cut.... "well they are sharp there knives there ment to be sharp". i had to teach her how to properly steel a knife and how to wash one. and had to explain the differnce between honing and sharpening. and why i would never put a knife in my dish washer. i dont sharpen all my own knives. i take some of mine to a knife shop for sharpening almost every year, barring tools/skill on some grinds. i can now get nice polished sharp blades that are way better then most factory edges. but im still learning.

but generaly i have to say getting a knife sharp and then keeping it there is not common knowledge any more. but look at the knives most people use. stamped out toothed blades. my dad was like that...so atleast he taught me all the things i shouldn't do i guess.

If it's not sharp, it's not a knife. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I got reprimanded at a job once way bak....i was tearing down cardboard boxes 9a lot) with a sharp Opinal knife. The supervisor was very nervous at the way the knife slit thru the cardboard with ease and orderd me to dull the knife on the concrete so any injuries would'nt be as bad.

I walked off the job.

the boss at the time happened to be a hunter, he drove to my house and apologized for the incident.

what a p***k.

His car is probably too fast with the tires intact. He should slash his tires so that any injuries are less severe. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

In reality, a sharp knife is more likely to make good clean wounds that are easy to stitch and will heal quickly. So ha.

Kind of funny really, utility knives that mount those little disposable razor blades are common fare on construction sites. We have nice tough knives here at the forum, but there is not a lot that can out-do your wafer thin garden variety 10 cent razor blade for sheer slicing potential.
