I'm afraid of what my wife might do with that knife, sharp or not :lecturef_smilie:

A dull knife is as useless as an empty gun.

:agree: Mine are kept "Shaving-Sharp"... :2thumbs:

 

[Saluda]

Mine are always sharp enough to cut myself every so often.

Checking the site and was thinking the about this exact situation. :bowdown::bowdown:

I was taught how to check to see if your knife is sharp... take a page out of a magazine... fold it 1" at a 90 degree, lay the page flat with the 90 degree fold pointing upwards...press downwards with the blade of your knife .. it should cut it cleanly without any movement but downwards pressure...

That's too involved...
Just grab one of your forearms, and see if you can shave a piece of it with just one swipe of the blade. :thumbup:
If it can... :firstplace:

 

[sylvester]

Make a knife

I make knives also so I've learned how to get them very sharp. I do finish with a diamond hone.

It's just a hobby as I'm slow and a bit meticulous. I 'd have to sell them for hundreds but I don't sell them.

If you do decide to sell one: I call dibs on it!
Just let me know how much... and when! :thumbup:
