I do however like to know my knife can really take it with very little chance of failing . That's why I bought the Magnum Basic 4 . But that's just MY thing . many like a nice thin blade and with INFI that doesn't have to mean weak . Either Basic 4 make a good skinner , bushcraft or camp knife I find . HOLD MY BEER AND WATCH THIS !

I have done this on a couple of my knives and it helps a lot. Skunk, thanks for the tip. I had it out camping last week and just was not impressed how it was doing in the way of cleaning my fish. Just this AM, I spent some time on it and got close to shaven sharp. Thanks much. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> History, in general, only informs us of what bad government is. (Thomas Jefferson)

If anyone should know of one needing a new home just ping me. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Last edited by sf45acp; 04/08/12 08:08 PM.
