Sharpened the Enzo, Leuku, commie knife, and the Mora 711 today as the stropping paddle arrived from across the drink.. Also have a new sharpening stone. Same quality as the old one, which is good enough really. But this one is longer.

Anyway the O1 tool steel in the Enzo was a delight to sharpen. And after stropping with the paddle, it was crazy sharp. It did not really "need" sharpening, but after the way I have been at it with this knife it had a few micro chips that a strop could have cleared with some patience. But I wanted to try the stone first. For stropping I did not order a stropping compound, but simply used the grit
taken off the stone and rubbed that into the leather of the stropping paddles coarse side. And used nothing on the fine side. The results where so good I did the Leuku and mora 711 also.

Going to do the Mora 2K as well, but that requires more patience as that is a stainless steel, so requires a bit more work...

Also got some stuff to fix my commie knife sheath, as everything metal in it basically fell out and was lost during the first week I had it...lol
But the leather and the is stitching is okay quality, and so is the AUS8 steel in it for what it is. Actually have no complaints about that knife except the
embarrasment factor...and I see a lot of use for it. Just not around people who may know what it is....ha ha

The world will come to a stand-still, it snowing in hell, pigs are flying and the pope is not catholic.

SWMBO has made a spoon!

Yes you read it right. She has made a S P O O N....

Well she needed a new rice spoon, and since hse is tighter than...uh...whatever you can name, with money, she did not want to fork out for one. So
since she discovered that I have the tools, she went ahead an made one...

Now this is a dangerous situation. This means that she possibly will demand acess to the shed, or bumble in there without prior notice. Which again means that I am in the risk of she finding
other gear purchased over the years under her radar. Now some of it may be expalined aways as "I've had that for years dear...", other stuff can't....

What to do?
