Higher edge retention...now I'm interested. I've been pretty unimpressed with Magnacut on my CRK. Any idea what CRK's heat treat is like (for magnacut)? I've been quite happy with the magnacut on my BRK Little Creek II and my Bradford Guardian 3. I do not own any CRK magnacut, though. My top priori...

My experience with magnacut has been good, but the stainlessness isn't something that's super important to me (which is why my favorite steel has long been 4v/v4e). I'm excited to see Larrin pioneer a non-stainless steel, focusing on wear resistance (and hopefully edge stability?). If that's what th...

Is it true that Dabo's buyout clause says that the buyout is 50% higher if he goes to Alabama?

So, who is coaching at Alabama next year? The way I see it the top candidate has to be Lane Kiffin (if he wants the job, and assuming his buyout at Ole Miss isn't too much). He's got Alabama history, head coaching experience, has already done his 'new head coach growing pains' somewhere else, and no...

I've never heard of them. But I'd be very interested to hear your report when you get it, Larry. Please post. :)

My K390 Urban, which is a jewel...

The K390 Urban is amazing. I almost cried when I lost mine to a security guard. But they were still available then, so I ordered another from my phone within ten minutes.

I'm definitely pulling for Washington. If Michigan wins, it will send a strong 'cheaters always prosper' message. And if the NCAA vacates the win after the fact, that will be an even bigger circus. Georgia's season next year looks brutal. Playing at Texas, at Alabama and at Ole Miss is quite a gaunt...

How thick is the blade on that Kephart?

To be fair to Florida State, they are playing without _most_ of their starters. Something like 85% of their offensive production opted out of this game. Although, at this point, UGA has 85% of their starters out of the game, and they just keep rolling.' For the record, I still think FSU was robbed, ...

I’m confused. Aren’t the knives being compared here a regular size Manix 2 Lightweight and a Manix 2 XL? Yes. > The Manix has open back construction while the Mini does not: One of the differences Vivi points out (open back construction) is not a difference between the standard and XL, but a differ...

I've found some custom 3d print files for guides at different angles. I wonder if you could find one that suits your preferred dps? Or just find someone to adjust one of the existing files for you.

Happy Birthday!

as a less expensive alternative (belts are cheaper too), you could try the one I use. https://www.harborfreight.com/1-in-x-30-in-belt-sander-58359.html With certain sales or coupons they get as low as $40. No edge convexing as they have a hard backing behind the belt. I use it all the time. It's an...

I have been using one for several years. I'm a big fan. It's definitely the fastest way to get a super sharp edge. I use it all the time on scissors (for sewing at work), kitchen knives, EDC knives. The speed is variable, so you don't overdo it and burn the edge, but I've sat there with my hand on t...

Happy Birthday, Chris!

This one always makes me laugh, because my perspective on skydiving is substantially different from most.

Skydivers always have a second parachute.

You can always re-sand at a lower grit than factory, but I'm uncertain how much grippier that will make it. Scouring pad seems like a good idea.

You can rough it up with a file, making alternating grooves. But that changes the profile. Do you want to do it without altering the profile?

Anderson, are you familiar with Smedley Butler? If not, you should read 'War is a Racket'.
