Cool Pic 🙂
I like the SOG Aegis because it sharpens up so easy.
Makes a great everyday work knife.
That FNP is nice 😉

Yes I did them with “cactus juice” and black dye.
I have a large vacuum chamber I found on ebay years ago for mold making but
I never use it. It was to big and slow.
Seen a video on youtube for the cactus juice
for wood and tried it, very cool stuff.
the dye goes into the soft parts of the wood
and looks really neat.
Now I got to find some cool stock…

I would love to have a Sig P938 but the G23 is a monster it just works.
Love it, snappy though… but a cool night stand gun. It stays haha
Love my thug and bug haha…..

I think I just needed more time to get past a corroded layer and hit better stuff.
I also had to tweak the resin piece I made the knife was not setting straight enough.
I need a Cube 😆 soon….

I love my old SOG 😛

I ended up taking it down aways with 50 grit stones.
It came up ok for the kind of blade it was not bad.
I think I got by lots of the bad stuff.

I did have to sand the dome down.

I think Solarez might be better.

I used this cool little sander.

I use Blue fine line tape.

You can get different resins, you would probable use one that cures with a black light.
Some types like I used use an expensive high output light.
These guys have some different types.

I got the blade back, here are a few pics. It is a cheap blade so
We did not expect much.
I made a little resin insert to help hold it in the vise.
UV cured doming resin works real fast over the super flexible tape.

I used 17 to start than a 20 degree angle , I use the knife for cardboard and Craft paper everyday.
Sharpen it up each weekend with just the 20 angle for touch up. so far so good.
Nothing fancy that’s for sure 🙂
It sure is nice having such a sharp work knife that really works and knowing
a little time on the Vise and I’m back to a super edge.
And an inexpensive knife to boot.
I’m really glad I spent $$$ on the WEPS system
and not on a High End super steel knife I could never sharpen once it lost its edge 😛
Not that I don’t like great Knifes 😛

I had mine for just a few weeks and really like it!
Did an Old Buck knife for a buddy and Got two nice big packs of venison the next day
for the little bit of work. Gotta love it 😉
I bought what I thought was a pair of Fillet Gloves but there was just one in a pack :silly:
now I gotta order another one haha. they are really for friends that want to try the system out,
or if I get something odd in that I keep having close calls with..
