Is there any chance you are confusing 'knife-wielding madman' with 'genius'?  :think:

Day 17

Used the Anglo Arms folder to open a package
Which has the thread repair kit in it
So now I can finally finish fixing the
stripped threads on the motorbike frame

Nice one Wim  :tu:

I'm constantly surprised by the number of people who don't like mayo. Doesn't even seem possible to me.....

You might try making your own mayonnaise: one egg yolk, light olive oil, juice of a lemon, pinch salt, pinch cayenne pepper or paprika. Blitz. (best to blitz egg and oil first, then add lemon juice and stuff.) Brilliant stuff--you'll be converted. For a more daring mayo, throw in a half a garlic clove and half a cured anchovy. Oooooh, la-la!
Don’t feel bad...others have said the same thing.  :rofl:
I have even be accused of being from a different planet, because of it.  :whistle:

Day 17 - I paired the Canoe with no-name lock back with wooden scales.
Blade of lock back cut down cardboard box like going through butter and still razor sharp.

No - with all the candy that has been shown and shared...my eyes have been open to a lot of nice stuff. I do have some carts with stuff in them...SMKW...DLT... :facepalm:
This rabbit hole is deep.  :cheers:
Oh, solar panels came in for my ProMaster...will be starting my build up next week!  :tu:

Come on, you know you want to hit the checkout.  Or are you planning on putting more in the cart so you can get the free shipping?

I’m waiting on a package today from SMKW.  I’m blaming it on Nix.

Day: 17

I, too, cut up some cardboard today.  :tu:  (sorry, no action shots.)

The Sodbuster is a great slicer because of it's flat grind and relatively wide blade. I really like the overall blade geometry of this knife. And it's a worker. So I like that.

The edge felt good to me after cutting up the cardboard and sliced paper well still, but I decided to resharpen it anyway. Because I like sharp knives and cardboard is hell on an edge.  :D 

I spent a few minutes with a couple of stones and got it back to shaving sharp easily. I typically sharpen free-hand, so I 'painted' the edge with a blue Sharpie to see exactly where I was removing steel. Which would explain why there is still a little blue staining on the blade (this could be easily removed with a little rubbing alcohol, but I've stopped bothering to worry 'bout that step.

Opened some small baggies containing o-rings and the like. Also cleaned it a bit today. Used polishing sandpaper to remove some gunk off the tang area and then sprayed it with whatever this is. If it’s good enough for Mercedes-Benz front head covers, it’s good enough for this old girl! Opens smoother now. It’s got it’s snap back! Now I just gotta decide what type of lube to put in there. I usually use fishing reel oil, but it’s thinner and good for those faster moving mechanisms. But what about for these old slippies? Any recommendations? Something with a heavier weight?

Peeled an apple with my Opinel today, feels bit overkill to peel apple with it but it does job pretty good.
