Pumpkin/Burnt Orange type day; yep they are users! :)

K2 :)

I suppose you could call the Worksharp a pull through sharpener. I have wanted the Ken Onion edition for a long time now. It seems to be very well reviewed and quite popular. A mate of mine is the editor of an Australasian shooting magazine and gets all sort of goodies from different distributors t...

Mantra 1 LNIB and a user Millie in CTS-XHP!

OP for my Edge Pro I use a couple of the kangaroo strops with different grades of stropping emulsion compound; BUT I've also made my own and mounted leather on the blanks that were included in my Edge Pro kit. I keep them separate so I don't cross contaminate the strops with coarser compound and whe...

My Sage 3; followed by my Gayle Bradleys :)

Whitetail, I've used the 120 grit stone for reprofiling in the past but it takes a while and the stone will dish out which then requires flattening. I switched to an Atoma 140 diamond plate/stone; I keep track of the number of strokes I use to attain a burr and then do the same number of strokes on ...

Have a 'knife' day! :)

One more question. Do you guys use an angle cube and do you feel it is a necessity?

Just snagged my first Military off of the Sig pistol forum for $70.00 to my door, should get it in a few days!

Digging how the Jade scales blend in with Khaki clothes, at first I wasn't sure but me likey!

I have the Sprig on the way; will be my first experience with S90V... looking forward to putting it through its paces!

BBS still has it.

I only have E4 though, and being Endura guy, I'd say go for it. Tried my friend's D'fly and found it too small even though my hand is medium small.

And so does GPK at a very good price, same as when they came out!
