How I spent my weekend

hawkchucker · **on:** August 30, 2009, 06:15:08 PM

Well I went to grab my D2 Griptillian because my ZT was dull and guess what. It was dull too. Now I went into the knife drawer and found every blade I had from my sak to MT to tacs were all dull. So I finally just locked myself into the shop and did them all. I spent aprox 10 hrs watching tv and sharpening everything in my box. Now the wife has me doing all the kitchen knives.

I finally feel ok about my lazyness over the past several monthes.

i hate dull knives... at least the ones i use.
i did the kitchen knives a couple of weeks ago myself. it took a while but it's well worth it. i usually steel them right out of the dishwasher but about once a year they need a new edge.

DMT bench stones for the saks, and mt. Then the DMT aliner sets for the tac folders.

Ten hours watching telly

It took you so long because you were watching telly and not paying attention to the sharpening

OR, you have a lot of sharps!

when I used my sharpmaker the first time I lost all the hair on my arms and knuckles, the hair on my WHOLE legs and the hair on the knuckles on my feet, was close to shaving my arm pits when the missus saw me

Hey John, I have a D2 Griptilian as well. I have the partially serrated 551. I really like it. How is D2 blade steel?

Thanks

Great, but you really need a jig to sharpen it. The crap is just so hard that you really cant just free hand it. I mean a sak only takes one or two passes on the dmt stone, but D2 steel well you are talking a crapload of passes.

Leatherman123 · **Reply #13 on:** August 31, 2009, 03:36:22 AM

Is yours straight edged or partially serrated? BTW, they are great knives, huh? I really think it's my favorite knife ATM!

hawkchucker · **Reply #14 on:** August 31, 2009, 11:08:04 AM

No serr. at all. I cant amagine sharpening them with d2

I want one...but the shipping to Australia would be astronomical!

10 hours? You've either got a buttload of knives or just took your time. I sharpened about 10-12 knives last night and it took me a little over an hour.

Were you trying to stay way from the wife?

Ding ding ding we have a winner!
