Knife talk

[thefirstzukman]

My Demkos, I really like Demko knives but they are hard to get ahold of. They released a Taiwan version and they have become like legos.

The 2 on the left started life as cheap versions $159 & $189 but have been given titanium upgrades, the next one is a full titanium version and then we have the real deal.

@thefirstzukman do you like the Demko sharkfoot blade shape?
Knifecenter has them $25 off for the holiday weekend

I like the blade shape but I wish it were just a little longer.

New fancy bearings for the Smock

Well... I screwed up.
If you know power sports or small engine batteries you know the loose capture nut is a pain to hold up while you screw in the terminal bolt.

I tried to hold the positive up with my knife tip.
I grounded the blade on the frame.
Aaaand I melted the tip.


Crap... If you can't laugh at your own mistakes what can you do?

One of my friends was putting in a battery and touched his wrench and metal watch band to the - +. It welded his watch clasp closed and he had to cut it off.

If this thread takes a detour, make it talk about sharpening. (what works, what doesn't) I hear everything from you need a $300 sharpener to some rock you pulled out of the river is good.

That’s what I’m after

How do you, yourself, get a knife stupid sharp?

I want to up my knife sharpening game. Just because. I want to learn how to get a knife just as stupid sharp as reasonably possible without stupid money. Stupid time, is okay. Would like to hear anything that works for you. I've been a competent knife sharpener since my teens, so, forty...

Good suggestion 👍I re-profiled and it cleaned up alright. It needed a resharpening anyways.


Some slight discoloration but I'm not grinding that out.
