    went back to Va Beach Farmers fair on thur. since Whole Foods Closed they fair. will work there on thur.at least through sept or oct.
    .
    saturday at the big east beach fare business started out slow with just one food processor blade around 9am, but at 10:00am all hell broke loose and the wicked edge was smoking hot after that.

    had some really nice blades to sharpen also.

    Tuffy,

    Right near the end you mention and show some machine scratches on some of the knives. Then, you said you’d take care of them.

    I’ve got a few knives that I can’t seem to figure out how to get those lines out.

    I’m not sure I heard correctly. Did you say at the very end, “I’ve got to go look for some yellow?” As in polishing compounds? Is that a clue as to how you remove those lines?

    Thanks, as always for your videos.

    “Looking for the yellow” = Looking for gold ( with metal detector) = Tuffy speak

    I used a buffing wheel with black compound – about 12 passes each side. pic attached of before and after.

    kinda like 90% gone – more passes would probably remove all.———-might have to give the whole blade a pass or two or more to blend in.

    i dropped off those knives and i asked what happened to those two and she said vacuum salesman said he could sharpen – she said he used a dremel with some kind of stone wheel on it.

    if u watch the vids, u will see that most saturdays i bring knives home to sharpen -axes, pocket knivs – etc.

    whatever it is, i sharpen on Kalamazoo – 1 x 42. i do not use the WE at home.
