Yeah that'll take some training

Is it hard generally?

I don't think so, but not everyone has good motor skills. It's a lot harder to fuck up with one of those things though.

I'm glad to hear

Wet stones are the beat, though, man. Would turn garbage knives into excellent meat trimming tools. They just didn't hold an edge worth a fuck.

so the only downside of TN is viewing angle?

Sooooo.... Go or nogo?

I'm a newb, just ordered my two first knives

How much is it?

9$ USD with shipping

Shit, there's no reason not to get it.

Here's a link for you

If you're interested

does that really work?

Yeah they work.

better than a sharpening stone? or just easier

No.

Easier more convenient.

might get one

That one looks pretty nice actually, since it has the 3 different grades. The one I used before just has the one 45 degree file wedge.

And you had to hold it in a way where you had a distinct likelihood of cutting yourself.

Sounds quite dangerous

It looked like a kite handle with the file on one corner running parallel with the handle.

god damn

Yeah, haha.

Only place I use regular knives is as Kelloggs where we have stones and grinders. Otherwise I use a utility knife with razor blades.

Oh

I bought some knives because I want to get into whittling

That shit is fun.

It sounds fun

Did it in a class in high school.

Did you get kicked out of class?

No, it was part of the class.

Oh, I see.

Waddling, leather working. Can't think of what else we did.

Widdling*

What did you widdle?

We all were tasked with Widdling a little gnome.
