What some people do
on: August 30, 2019, 03:44:08 PM
Well, today I happened to see a Leatherman knife on a desk at work and had to take a look as I haven't handled one before.
Opened it and was a bit shocked to see the owner has "sharpened" it on the grinder we have!
This is how it looks.

To them it’s just a tool that when dull they sharpen as quickly and with the least effort as possible.

Despite the fact the blade has lost some material it does appear to have a fairly even a uniform bevel And looks like it will do a job.

To some it’s just a means to an end.
My trouble is i never show initiative, but that's only because no one has told me to.

I think it's mostly used as a scraper anyway so he probably doesn't care about sharpnes, such a waste of a nice knife.

Sadly to most people a knife is just another tool to be abused and discarded.I had a friend whom I worked with in a body shop who used to dig old Bondo out of dents with a 1920's era KA-BAR locking guard hunter.When I first saw him do this I implored him to cease immediately and I would buy him a knife to do that task. He refused;saying he liked the feel of the knife.I tried in vain to buy it from him. About 40 years later I finally found one in an antique shop and paid a rather large sum of money for it only to learn that it was worth about twice what I had paid. I often wonder what happened to the other one.Here is a pic of the one I bought.
