    When you get it, we can discuss the finer points of putting on an edge you'll be satisfied with.

    Or before then, for that matter. It's not like we're allowed to go outside.
    Due in Tuesday. I’ll post back for more advice after the obligatory finger bloodletting that usually accompanies any purchase related to sharps in Chez Totem.

    (I’m not kidding: I cut my finger lacing my boots this morning; for a guy that likes sharp objects, I sure have a lot of trouble getting along with them)

    I use toothpaste to clean the triangle stones for my Sharpmaker...
    I was into 10mm Auto before it sold out and went mainstream, but these days I'm here for the revolver and epidemiology information.

    To whet your appetite, here's a little video from my old friend and sometime nemesis, the late A.G. Russell on the basics of diamond hones. I think you'll find it useful.

    There's nothing civil about this war.

    I think that was getting pretty close to the last year or two of his life. He was a legend in the business...and a bit of a character.

    I got his mail order catalogs... back in middle school. A new one in the mail was a special day. Came to my dad’s place—since he had partial custody, per the thinking of the time, sometimes a new glossy catalog would be there when he picked me up.

    Never met A.G. Or Goldie, for that matter.
