I can’t find the SWAT accessory on the website. How can I order one and how much are they?

Sounds good news!
Any news on the DMTs suitable for ceramics yet?
Looks as if Tuffy for one could have done with them a day or two ago.
I think like it or not ceramics will stay some people like them for salads and women like them because of their light weight.
I also know a few riggers use them for dyneema although that is since they firstly won’t buy knives with good steel and most of them cannot sharpen their knives .

I’ve got them in stock, just need to do a little testing and then get them up on the site. I’ll try to get after it this coming week.[/quote]

Clay, I know you have some new stuff coming out. When are you planning on putting everything on the website? I am also interested in the DMT stones.

[Wesley]

I want this set up myself.

[Wesley]

Thank you all for the help. I am going to go with the 1200/1600 then move on from there.

Here is anther vote for ceramics. The LAA is for down the road. I would also think hard about a kanagroo strop. You would not believe what a difference there is with the roo! A roo strop is about 1/2 the price of the macro ceramic. I have them in 5/3.5 and 1/.25 and those that I have sharpened for with them find them amazing!

I will have to consider those. If I go with the ceramics which ones would you start with, also with the balsa and roo strops?

[Wesley]

Thanks, I think the problem is I am putting a little pressure with all of the steps. I raise a burr on each side with the 100 or 200 only. All of that aside I couldn’t be more pleased with the system. I am just seeing how far I can push the sharpness threshold.

I have been getting everything super sharp and I am very happy with the results. I have cut myself so bad and didn’t even know until I saw the blood. LOL.

[Wesley]

Also thanks for the help. You all are super on here.

My wife has me on a limit for my hobbies :S. So I can do only one a month depending on the amount. She says once we buy the house we want I can send more, but I understand why she wants a house. I am thinking the ceramics is the way to go right now.

Does it make that much difference in how sharp you get the knife? I still can’t get the hair splitting sharp, but I can get them sharp enough to cut you and you not know until you see blood dripping.

[Wesley]

Can you post a pic of your storage box. I like the tubes you are storing the stones in.

[Wesley]

I will have to contact him. That is the color I want!

[Wesley]

Thank you. I am just wanting something a little heavier.

[Wesley]

Thanks, I can’t say I haven’t lived. LOL. I guess it’s about time to slow down A little.

[Wesley]

You have a good point on the cop part.

I hope to buy a house this year. I am 39 and should have made better decisions myself, but hey we only live once and we can’t take it with us when we go, right.

I wish I could.Unfortunately they are super strict because we do a lot of government stuff, so we have to be careful about what we do. I talked to my boss about machining some small parts for a project that I had at the house, you would have thought I was asking to take the whole machine shop to my house to do it.

I have seen some of the work you do and it looks great.

[Wesley]

That looks sweet. One day I will have a belt grinder setup so I can do things like that, I just have to buy a house first.

Well I wish I was cop! I am a machine maintenance technician. I do everything from electrical to machining parts to keep everything running.

[Wesley]

What kind of work do you do? Your hands look like mine. LOL. Looks like that is going to be a tough one to sharpen.
