I may never "sharpen" a knife again (using a STeele)

while I have a number of steels of all grades and types, I find myself using Crock Sticks of various types for most of t he knives on my person or around the house.

If its really bad, Ill drag out one of the Lansky sharpening sets and build a good edge, then finish with a crock stick

My carry Kukri ,which is very very old, will shave arm hairs using this process. The Henkles (sp?) kitchen knives come out scary sharp

The two highest achievements of the human mind are the twin concepts of "loyalty" and "duty." Whenever these twin concepts fall into disrepute -- get out of there fast! You may possibly save yourself, but it is too late to save that society. It is doomed. " Lazarus Long

I will top post, bottom post and insert post as I see fit!! If you don't like the way I'm living, plonk me.

OoooOOOOooo, Gunner flames back! (Although I would only call my post an observation rather than a flame, but I guess that proves its validity.)

BTW, you got something wrong. I'm the little brother in this family. ;)

Europeans will, too. The Americans had to invent "libertarian" to replace "liberal" after they changed the meaning of that word...

Language is fun! :-)

Jeez, that's a lot of words. It's much simpler if you define it in terms of behavior. A libertarian is someone who opposes aggression against others, unless they think the others may initiate aggression against them. This opens the door for unlimited pre-emptive aggression, under the principle of preventing pre-emptive aggression.

A libertarian is someone who favors legalizing psychotropic drugs, until a drug taker goes nuts behind the wheel of a car and starts running people over, at which time a good libertarian will shoot them.

Even simpler is their politics: A libertarian is someone who favors individual liberty, which is why they vote for right-wing neo-fascists.

Libertarians are very confused people.

No fair, that one is too recent. You have to come up with a new one... Brian

On Thu, 4 Mar 2004 11:40:21 GMT, snipped-for-privacy@nowhere.net vaguely proposed a theory ......and in reply I say!:

Not necessary. I agree with you. As I said, I did not want to tell anyone where to insert anything. I plonked the other post, because (a) they did not snip, and posted only a rather vapid one-liner. (b)they replied smartarse to me (c) I did provide some ideas to to their question which they completely ignored in their haste to be a smartarse.

Anyway. Mind your own business

Gun control is being able to hit what you are shooting at. Nothing more, nothing less.

Id only call my post an observation as well. Seems to have gotten your goat though.

Hummm..your the little brother? That explains it. In another day, you would have been the cabin boy..and all that that job involved...

gak! just checked in here, what seemed like a nice on topic thread is now yet another WAY OT polictical diatribe. maybe we HAVE lost something here (in rcm?). --Loren

I know what you mean. All good threads seem to go bad.

I didn't even look at this thread until it had gone on so long that it just

*had* to be revealing some amazing facts about sharpening a knife. But when I got here, what I found was Gunner sharpening his sword.

Ed Huntress

Gnaw, I don't think I've seen many threads stay on topic without arguing for more than the 15 post levels seen at this particular point.

Hehehe That sounds so silly.

Hey! That's a good'un.

Just a few edits and it becomes:

Jeff

LOL! Good response.

Cant blame this one on me, this time.

No..you found me mentioning that I use a ceramic crock stick in lue of a steel. Another posted pushed the magic button.

Gotta say, Ed, I liked Gunner's version much better. :-)

-tih

But true nontheless. We can thank the Lefties for the redefiniton. They are busy at work again, since Liberal now has many negative connotations. The new buzz word they use...is Progressive.

And with a few edits, "jeff" becomes "Child Molester"

Of course, neither edit has any validity, but as you apparently delight in the exercise.... Shrug.
