Thread: Life on The Edge, What Is The Same, What Is Different

The point of the quote I believe is they were not really interested in changing tools as what they had been using seemed to be working fine.

Which is not too far off base from what the Kingfish is encountering here.

I cannot put my finger on why the tech side interest me. I guess because I need some distraction from all the boring uninteresting stuff going on around me. Neither do I get a kick out of helpng newbies. They can buy a rock and learn to sharpen the same as I did right? one edge at a time.

newbs worry too much (imho) about obtaining the ultimate and best. when 1. there is not one. and 2. if it were its ultimate properties would be lost in their lack of experience.

One reason I started was to explore that ultimate edge. everything that is really sharp is said to be razor sharp. I wanted to know what that really meant. Just as sharpening razors has made me better, more focused on sharpening my handtools. I think for those who are just shavers, finding something more to sharpen than razors.

many have commented that razors are different from other steel edged tools. I have asked for their thoughts as the the whats and why but never got an answer. My view is; it is not really all that different.
