Thread: shaving with a $0.25 paring knife

ehehehe too funny, might be a challenge here, Kelham vs. Roselli hunter , do it the real Scandi way!

Neat video! I have a stack of Ark stones and some diamonds as well. That is all I use for my straight razor. My homemade paddle too of course. I thought for sure I would have to buy a whole slew of new stones for shaving. My Ark stones and and home made goodies work just right!

Ben look at what you have done..., you will put a lot of people out of business ;-). Good shave, thanks for posting. BTW, if you would like to get rid of your all equipment, I can PM you my address ;-). I can see it now paringknifeplace.com ;-).

Al raz.

An Opinel? Heck yeah you can shave with it. They're carbon steel too, and will take a good edge. Tell ya what, I'll trade you my shave ready Old Hickory for your opinel....

Hmmm... paringknifeplace.com, eh? Gotta go buy a domain.... ;-)

Oh no you won't, Sir. I call all your stones and razors! Looks like I'll be making a recycling trip to the Twin Towns soon?

Anything that's sharp! Great video! http://us.st12.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.c...ay_2030_745580

So now I have another reason to buy one...

my friends think that my knives are crazy sharp. I have a 30$ buck folding that can take the hair off my arm without a problem but its nothing like that!! I only use a 5$ belt to keep my knives in good shape though. wonder if I should start investing in a few knife hones............

wow nice shave and i thought that i keep my pocket knives sharp, I test them on a patch of leg hair or arm hair (if theres any growing back from the last sharpening) Im going to have to try this some time.

My son spent a summer selling "Cutco" knives and had a lot of interesting demonstrations of how sharp they were.

I should have told him to shave with one!

I shaved with a kitchen knife at one point. Daarn thing had all of hte weight in the handle and kept rotating towards my ears.
