Blade is thin and a little flexible; this is kind of meant for kitchen use or light game/fishing perhaps. $300; order soon and you can pick the sheath color and options. DM me for his email address.

I did the 240 grit pass and it's starting to look good; I love doing finish work on knives. Watching them becoming a knife.

Oh, and this is just the first grit; it will require at least one more at a finer grit before it's done:

Anyone have advice on the game I should know when I'm ready to begin?

"Some assembly required" - I love those words.

Sometimes I wonder how many times a woman has started a conversation hoping I would flirt with them and then realizing that I'm way too dense for that.

Thanks for being here with me. I know it isn't always easy and I appreciate you.
