I use down and up strokes. It decreases the time to reprofile by so much! And I mean I've used it on m4, and it was nothing. Took a little bit, but it worked great. Just work on the wonky side first, then when you apex, do the other side until you get the apex more or less centered. Doesn't have to ...

Always makes me laugh when people say they prefer one over another. I don't have any 204p, but have a lot of 20cv, and some m390. It's all good stuff!

Setting the bevel with the diamond rods (30 degrees) or on my 325 grit diamond stone, and then putting a microbevel (40 degrees) with the brown stones leaves an edge that will pop hair if you just glide the blade along your arm, but will slice through pretty much anything with very little effort. To...

This is going to sound harsh but, I am the only one who is not going to get a vacation out of this? I wish I had some free time to catch up on chores/projects! I NEED a week off but that ain’t gonna happen. I still haven't got one. They're trying to decide right now if they're going to give us our ...

Battlestar Galactica. Old or new, love them both. Wish they would have continued with Caprica, I was really getting into it...

Working. I guess I'm considered essential personnel, as I'm an electrician working for a contractor who does govt work. Wondering if they are going to postpone our next outage though, considering they've been doing that quite a bit lately. If I do get off for a little while I'll probably catch up on...

Just give the pivot screw a little turn. Should be fine after that.

1 every year? I bought 8 benchmades in the last 2 months... Haha! Welcome to the club!

Picked up the 20cv Grip in Florence, AL yesterday. The Rift was from knifeworks and came in 2 days! Double new knife day is the best new knife day!

Torx are better than flat, Philips, and hex, and square is good for electrical work but torx can take more torque. More points of contact. Use decent tools (I don't even use wiha... Lol) and make sure to be fully seated and you shouldn't have a problem. I haven't stripped a single screw yet, but I d...

Schools closed next week. Grocery stores are out of cleaning supplies, toilet paper, hand sanitizer, and paper towels. My wife did find 1 small pack of napkins today. The meat section was very low. Bottled water is at a 2 case limit, IF, they have it in stock. Seen 1 guy with 10 dozen of eggs in hi...

Well, after next week I may be off work for 2 weeks. So now it is affecting me and my family. We will see how it goes. I have plenty of food, my freezer is full to the brim. No worries here. Also have plenty of butt paper... We tend to get the huge pack from Sam's haha!

It's like when it snows here in the south. Got to get your bread, milk, and eggs! Seriously, people go nuts and buy the most outrageous stuff for no reason...

Yes, but not much. I use very little on any pivot really. My ZTs get bare minimum, and my washer knives (most spydies and benchmades, etc) get very little as well. You don't really need as much as nick shabazz puts in his knives! Haha! Also found that if you have a stubborn detent ball that just won...

Not really yet. Other than being told there can't be more than 10 people in the switchouse at one time (tva taking precautions) I still have to work. Stuff in the yard has to be upgraded, or added, or torn out. Can't turn off the power, so I am here. I'm just with a contractor though, so things coul...

I think Sal said he drives a 2000 something Acura.

Still loving all my Benchmades. My mini Crooked River Custom should be here Tuesday. Picked up a 940-2 the other day and I can see why it's a legendary edc knife. The super Freek has taken a spot up with my Amalgam, as have the crooked river and mini Crooked River. And Benchmade took care of the eba...

Turn the screw counter clockwise first until you feel it click past the starter thread. Especially important for the small t6 screws.

Benchmade 940-2 today!

Amalgam. Very tall blade, gets pretty thin behind the edge. I always compare knives to my civivi Baklash because it is a very thin hollow grind. The amalgam matches it easily!
