    So far this is as close to the super as I can get, but I will get there yet.





    The Marbles isn’t mine, but I got paid to fix some chipping in the blade and sharpen it. The Gerber has rattled around in my pocket for a couple of years, and the CRKT is my EDC that I carried and used everyday for about 4 years or so. The Microtech has recently replaced the CRKT for my EDC needs.

    To be honest the Microtech was due to feeling nostalgic.lol. I used to keep one handy, but gave it to a friend when I left the service. While I might catch flak for this, the truth is it was a convenient tool to have around. :woohoo:

    Man these took a while! Good thing you can do scandi’s on the WEPS if they are the right angle (seriously, you can):


    …………….

    i’m jk lol… did that on my belt sander and they are only high polish, not mirrored, but it’s interesting what the right light can do! hehe

    In all seriousness though, I finished this up today:

    anyone else have trouble trying to be creative in what you reflect off of your edge so you aren’t always doing the same thing? I do!! lol

    Wooh, nice photographs again! This time you had no problem in being creative in selecting what to reflect off of your edge. (And it fits the spring theme 😉 .)

    Crap. The only thing green here is the grass that’ll be screaming for a mowing in about two weeks. I guess I can sharpen my mower blades between now and then.

    Yes it is… had to get creative 😉

    Everything here is super green right now… guess that’s part of living in the south! So much rain you can barely cut the grass though…

    Tom, you may want something a little more than the wicked edge to sharpen your lawn mower blades… just a though :whistle:

    Yup, one of each! Scandi grinds. Just waiting to be made all shiny! And that’s some pretty thick stock of 1095, right?! Was clamping an issue at all?

    Heck of a job as always, brotha.
