    Default Pfa!

    Microscopes! Ha!

    When dealing with a problem blade I prefer to star at it for like twenty minutes, then exhaust every trick I know to get it to hone, then get really angry and then do stupid things. :P

    Like my Frederick Reynolds quarter hollow, the previous owner apparently had some thing about the back side of the blade where he didn't like to hone too close to the heal, so the spine was still super thick there and the normal over time worn down everywhere else. My answer? Grind down the spine to make it even. The problem, one huge spot of hone wear looks a little odd and it's hard to be so precise. My solution, keep grinding until it's a nice even true wedge. After about 16 hours and four sheets of 80 grit paper, I'm about halfway there.

    Like I say, I like to get angry and do really stupid things. After I'm done with it, I'll likely be so disgusted with how long I wasted on it I won't hone it for months. :P

    This is hilarious. My attitude is exactly the same. That's why for this straight razor business I really need to go against what's ingrained on my DNA and take deep breaths, relax, and stay calm.

    As I said in an earlier post, in my life it's rare that I ever do anything gently.
