Specifically for scandi grinds on Mora's etc i designed and had this made a while back. I call it a "limiter block", as it limits your range of movements while sharpening guided on the Tormek to only back & forth and up & down (for the point area) The block can slide along the steel guide rod, and w...

^^^this^^^ The Spyderco Sharpmaker is a very good product for keeping your knives sharp, provided that the existing edge angles on your knives fall into the range that it can handle. If they don't or your knives are extremely blunt i would recommend to also invest in a pair of CBN or diamond rods fo...

Tested the newly convexed edge with an apex @ ~22.5 degrees inclusive on an old piece of beechwood cutting board. Got quite a bit of microchipping at the very apex but no rippling. The steel might indeed be D2 with an estimated hardness at or slightly above 60 HRC. https://i.ibb.co/7NHDBDG/GE-DIGITA...

Daniil Vygovsky, the seller of this fake CS AD10 operated on E-Bay under the name Andros999, but it seems he is no longer active there. Даниил Выговский is his Russian name, and on Paypal he uses androswizard@gmail.com I thought i ordered from Taiwan, but the clone was dropshipped to me by the Chine...

The knife's new home-made Tri-Ad locking mechanism. Exchanged the old stop pin (on the right with 4.97 mm diameter) for a thicker one (on the left with 5.43 mm diameter) made from an old piece of drill bit using a drill press together with an angle grinder, gave the lockbar pivot pin a bit more wigg...

This is how the locking mechanism looked when i received the knife. Although it somewhat resembles a tri-ad lock, it's still just a backlock. https://i.ibb.co/gWmWD0V/GE-DIGITAL-CAMERA.jpg https://i.ibb.co/g7qckw5/GE-DIGITAL-CAMERA.jpg https://i.ibb.co/kxYMMMs/GE-DIGITAL-CAMERA.jpg https://i.ibb.co/...

Short story: a while ago i ordered what i thought would be an original CS AD10 from an E-Bay seller, who specifically stated in the ad that the knife was the real deal and no fake. What i received however was an AD10 clone. Opened a Paypal dispute, sent the knife back to the seller, then got informe...

This leading hardware dealership was the descendant of a Chicago store called Tuttle, Hibbard & Co., which took that name in 1855 when William G. Hibbard became a partner. In 1865, Hibbard was joined by Franklin F. Spencer, and the enterprise was renamed Hibbard & Spencer. By 1867, the company's ann...

Thx guys, :-) This is my second machine, a model 128 in a treadle, dating from 1925. We found it standing on the pavement in front of the home of an older lady, who was going to a smaller apartment and wanted to get rid of it. She still remembered her grandmother working with it back in the 1930's, ...

Currently learning to work a bit with an old Singer VS3 hand sewing machine made in 1890. When new a machine like this would cost you about a month's wages, but nowadays these can be bought for only a handful of euro's. I paid 10 Euro for mine, and there are literally dozens more where this one came...

Just used my last Buck 110 blade on an old & worn Buck 560 from a friend of mine. Had to use the old backspring as i'm all out of new ones, but luckily i still had a new blade, a pivot pin, and a bronze bushing. The new pivot pin wasn't riveted with a hammer, but pressed using a vise and a little ho...

For people using diamond compounds on Paper Wheels like i do; give Nano-Oil 5 weight a try. I have been using this oil exclusively for quite a few years now, and so far it's the best i've come across. It remains speculation if that is because of the special "fullerene" additives or something else en...
