C29 Cricket w/ Battle Scars
Hi all, thought you might appreciate a pic of this little guy brought in today by a customer. He says he uses 90% for opening boxes and cutting up cardboard etc, not sure how he managed to snap off the tip. I won't be touching this one, but the experienced sharpener will be bringing the spine down to the edge somehow or another.
I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.

Normally I don't see sharpening I take in, unless the customer leaves it for a week or more. This time was an exception, and I managed to snap a pic.
The sharpener aimed to keep it close to original, not grind up the edge, and remove as little stock as possible.
If it were my knife, I think I would aim for a more precise tip, taking off a little more of the spine. But this will definitely be less likely to snap off.

This one I cannot take credit for, as I said earlier this one was done by the professional sharpener here at work. I will be sure to pass on your kinda words, though. :-)Jazz wrote:You did an excellent job, bro. :cool:
