it's been a while, but here's another modeler cheap tip. pictures in the pucture group but for the vision impaired, it's smith's knife sharpener. it flips open to have a hamdguard on the bittom and the sharpener has 3 slots, one for scissors and 2 for knives, a coarse and fine. i've been hearing about ceramic shapreners for a while, so when i spyed this $7 bargain at the china subsidy center, (aka walmart) i said why not. ya know the aussie thing they hype on tv? this is better. my chef's knives can cut tomatos again, they will actually cut a sheet of paper. but i gave it THE TEST. i actually sharpened some very dead #11 blades! the summabitches are sharper than new, no s*it. three strokes on coarse, 4-5 on fine and they are sharp. ok, 311's are cheap, but not buying any for a while? more kit money, yass?
