I'm a big fan of the Lil Native. I have a few and they are at the top range of my most carried list. To me on paper, thinner blade stock (possibly)+jimping+BL+FRN+contoured finger groove=Chaparral FRN Which I have, gets plenty of use as well and is an amazing knife. So I'm not sure I have use for a ...

Are you coloring in the entire bevel with the sharpie? I used to have this problem when I did it that way, and I think it has something to do with either the layer of ink becoming too thick, or the gumminess of it collecting too much swarf. Either way you end up with the sharpie at the apex being r...

Until recently I've primarily used the Sharpmaker with alternating strokes. I do believe I formed a burr when sharpening the other side but it doesn'...

Could be that the angle is slightly changing between your leading and trailing strokes, hence the main scratch pattern not really hitting the apex but still removing the sharpie. You might try only edge leading or only edge trailing strokes and see if you experience the same thing. I started off wi...

I've been attempting to improve my extremely limited freehand sharpening skills and have a question. On this one knife (which may not have been the best to practice on as the bevels where quite uneven) I cant seem to reach the apex on one side. Attempting to sharpen/reprofile it to 15 dps on a cheap...

I am digging how much better it carry’s now being thinner. The clip does not get in the way like before. I had to find some shorter screws but it’s working great in its slimmer guise. https://i.postimg.cc/kgb5bYDS/99-D79982-4-FF6-4064-A4-B5-C24-F0-E1-DA0-AF.jpg Oh god no! The horror! I don’t think ...

Visiting day for my daughter in sleep away camp today. 3 hour drive each way with 2 other little ones in the car

Probably could use jimping added to the thumb ramp for those who use their knife in wet conditions.
