PST-II Box Cutter
on: February 23, 2020, 09:53:17 PM
One thing I missed on my PST-II in the December PST challenge was an awl for those hack jobs where you don’t want to mess up you main blade, from opening boxes and blister packs, to cutting zip ties.
I prefer to carry the PST-II for the scissors, but you forfeit the awl. So I decided to sharpen-up the opener tool. Now I’ve got a much more useful tool, and easy to control as I’m left-handed. Not the most adventurous mod, but quite effective.  :salute:

Nice polish :like: How did you sharpen it? Stones or file and sandpaper?

 :hatsoff: I’ve got a small vertical belt bench sander loaded with 400 grit, and then polished on a Dremel with a soft wheel and polish.  :tu:

Thank guys.  :hatsoff:
I almost decided to strip and mirror polish the whole PST. Would be a great piece of bling!  :dunno:

Oh yes, I kept the full thickness. Just put a radius on the cutting edge.  :tu:
