I've noticed a trend in general.... TOO MANY THREADS THAT REALLY DONT NEED TO EXIST..... Repetitive threads, threads about very minor issues, threads that are very short because their topics don't actually warrant threads, threads about things that aren't quite answered in the threads about your topic that come up with a search.....
So to remedy this.....
I decided I would make a thread that would basically encompass everything that is not important enough for new threads, but not trivial enough to just let go. I'm talking about all the little passing questions and comments on anything having to do with knives, that don't warrant their own threads. Whatever you have to ask that falls into this category, throw it in this thread instead of making a separate one:thumbup:
But most of all, this thread should be used as a casual chatting ground for people who want to share things like-
What they got recently, and what they think of it (new knives and first impressions)
What type of things they're into these days with regards to knives, sharpening systems, etc.
What they did with their knives that day
How they like to carry thier knives for differnent situations, how they're carrying them today, and why
Trivial questions about something they noticed about their knife or its performance at some point during the day
Tales about adventures with sharpening and how sick of an edge they got yesterday
Revelations they had about knife related things/ epiphanies about their knife carrying life style in general
Yadda yadda yadda. You get the idea
That's right.... No topic, comment , or question is too small to fit in this thread. If you have a random thought about knives that you want heard by other forumites, or a story to tell about your knife usage that day, post it here
Let me start.....
Today I realized my new delica is one of the greates cutting tools in existence! I got mine laser sharp, it carries super nicely, and the egos are great:thumbup: I also noticed that the finish on the clip is very durable, and won't come off easily.
Oh and I just picked up a Japanese whetstone from "TAIDEA" that has a 2000 grit side and a 5000 grit side, and so far it's working great! I was actually terrified at how well it was removing material! I had a really messed up bevel on my pm2, but once I hit it with the 2000 grit side, it only took a few minutes to get a nice, flat, even bevel:thumbup: Then I just refined it with the 5000 grit side, and hit it with my strop to finish. Now it has a beautiful edge
