My Domino and my Starlingear 2011 Hot Head Puncher Ring.

Thanks guys, this helps a lot, I will keep at it in the morning as my wife has just grounded me from the basement tonight. I will go back to the brown rods and start over and just take longer with each set. I am going to go with the DMT aligner kit after this escapade and hopefully that setup will ...

Yea, I have a burr, and I have watched his vids, I will keep trying, this xhp seems to be more difficult to sharpen than s30v. Good deal it sounds like you have it covered now, I have a Domino also and have not sharpened it yet so now I know what to expect. Just keep at it I think you just have not...

Have you formed a burr on either side yet?

After I watched this I bought the Sharpmaker.

Alrighty well on that topic, I got the news last week that I will be getting a forum knife. So shortly I will be in the same boat. I am already thinking I will not carry it, I have a native 5 so that should give me my native fix. That said I will have to see how tempted I am once it arrives. Good l...

Sorry once you dull the Domino you have to buy a new one and send your old one to me. Lol
Try marking the edge with a black marker to see where its removing metal from you might need to spend some time setting the angle or get the diamond rods to speed things up.

I have been using the Lansky diamond system for over 10 years or more its been so long I can't remember when I bought it. I also have a Sharpmaker that is only a month old. The Lansky is my favorite but the Sharpmaker is becoming my new favorite. Once the bevel is set for touching up the edge the Sh...

It was taking with my Galaxy 3 and I just played around with it in Photobucket

I have the new iPad I don't remember what the pixels are but your Galaxy 3 has a nice camera in it, or I just suck at taking and editing pictures. Lol

Nice pic. Mine never look that good.

I think a swedge ads a lot to the overall appearance of the blade and might make the point sharper but that's about it to me. Depending on how deep it is can weaken the tip a little but if done right it won't make much difference. Some knives they look good and others they look like a after thought....

So sorry to hear about your health problems, I hope it works out for you. Health care is kind of something we take for granted in our neck of the world but I am no stranger to financial pressures and the combination of the illness and the stress of the finances is certainly not a winning strategy f...

That looks great, I have always liked the scales when they sculpt them like that but in orange it really stands out.

Hi, first sorry to read about your med troubles. Must have a huge impact on daily life. But for those costs mentioned: Its quite possible its the opposite and you get high discount. Maybe it depends what facility the MRI is done and how things are further processed. Also its possible that or the ho...

Congrats on the Calendar win and your new knife.

IRT which knife...you chose well. The Domino is about the best all around EDC from Spyderco I have owned. Great knife. Sure hope you don't have to sell the Forum knife.

Thanks yea its my last resort its such a sweet little knife.

For some reason, I thought that you had work related injury. I thought that your employer should cover treatment. Otherwise, it is extremely sad. MRI alone is $$$$. I cannot imagine how people with health problem and without insurance can pay their bills. Good luck to you, let's hope everything wil...

Just put this piece of S110V to use. Yesterday I realized, that after I started to carry 2013 Forum Native I started to cut cardboard boxes on smaller pieces :eek: Good luck with MRI. Bring us good results. You don't know how many times I have got the Native out and just looked it but I can't bring...

I have carried my hickory combat cane and my Lenslight with a titanium strike bezel in my pocket and all they did was turn it on then opened it up and handed it back to me and said have a nice flight but that was in the states, Mexico I don't know if I would risk my light there they might just decid...

My Domino and my Raven combat cane. If I can't take the knife because of its a court house or airplane I can always have one of my canes with me. I also have Canemaster canes, one is my airplane cane its just a tough piece of Hickory and is none threatening looking but is super strong. Being disable...
