Baby steps man lol

Baby steps? Ok, he can save his money and pick up a EDC1 or EDC2 for a decent price first. Assuming of course that his parents let him.

 

[000Robert]

I know about CPK. I like their Field knife and love their EDC and EDC 2.

What is a DEK1?

It's the new EDC. They just had a preorder on them a month ago.

Will probably look into getting a Spyderco, not sure on the model yet... they seem like really solid knives.

Just a suggestion, take the time and learn to sharpen before getting another knife.

A dull knife can and will cut you quickly and bad.

Agreed.

 

[000Robert]

Agreed.

Also at the friday sale today at 3pm eastern, they have 10 of the new DEK1's in 3V steel available.

I hear that Black Friday is a good day to get knives, as they usually have all sorts of discounts? Not that I need a knife, and that is a while away.

I’m still not sure how to use that diamond sharpener you sent me jlauffer ...

I advise you to start by studying this thread. It is the top sticky thread on the Maintenance, Tinkering & Embellishment forum.

Unless I am mistaken, your sharpener should be used like a kitchen steel. Or very similar. Go to YouTube
and look at how Chefs use a steel. There is more than one way.

The other thing that you might try is go to the manufactures website for the brand of stone that you have. They might have instructions that you can read or download.

It is the CPK (Carothers Performance Knives) Friday sale they have every other week. I don't remember hearing of a Black Friday sale. Where is that at?

I was speaking website wide, BladeHQ, Amazon, etc. I’m pretty sure every website has a sale on Black Friday, lol...

Will check out YouTube. (Just don’t want to damage my new knives... )

Also, I never realized... the SAK’s blade is “bent” a little, to allow room for the other smaller tool. Are all of them like this?

Oh, that Black Friday. I thought maybe there was one on BF that I was missing.

Can skip to about :45

ETA: Of course with the Utilitac being partially serrated, you'll need to get some sort of sharpening rod for that portion of the blade.

All of my dikes and lineman pliers look like that!

Haha. There was a time I’d go buy a brand new pair as soon as it happened. Not anymore, I just adapt until I can’t stand it. Still pisses you off first time it happens

Sometimes there’s no other way to find a breaker LOL

Haha. I’m not too proud to say I’ve done it. The ole turn your head and close your eyes method.

I’ve took and crossed phases intentionally before. Couldn’t find a breaker and got tired of walking back and forth ha. I had some receptacles one time on a QO panel that you really had to work to make trip. I’d sit there and just watch the wire weld across hot and neutral

It’s normal. Slipjoints often have crinked blades to allow them to all fit.

Yeah not my proudest moment but sometimes you just got to stand to the side turn your head and get er done. That was before I had a circuit finder.
