Thread: Knife stuff...vid

Moonhunt, he has given me a couple, and sold me a couple too at an excellent price. You will see him test a knife on a deer soon that I gave him as a gift. Not a svord though, but NZ made. Craig cut himself badly doing a deer with one of the ones he gave me; slashed his knuckles and had quite a few stitches. Ouch.

I use water stones, (1000 -3000) and strops with black and white compound. Sometimes the 400 through to 1200 sand papers if its serious re-profiling. They are all pretty damn sharp.

I use the them all. I just take a different one hunting every now and then.

That would have been at least a 3 bandaid exercise for me. Very nice.
Did you mean concave at the end there ? they looked more convex?

I wasn't goin to mention it

Sorry. Convex. It was stage fright.

Do you have a bit of wool in your sheaths? I heard that can help keep the blades clean.

Could you put up a video of sharpening a knife step by step?

When I was a shepherd we used to put a bit of wool in the bottom of the sheath to stop the point going through the bottom. Thats the only use ive heard wool being put to.

There are heaps of good knife sharpening vids on youtube, but yeah, I could do one.

My father used to wipe down his work knife with some fresh wool .
He said the lanolin was the best rust preventer for his old fashioned carbon blades .
All I can say is his blades never rusted , but they did discoulour and get a patina to them .

I will keep an eye out for that video, i realy enjoy watching his vids, maybe put a link up if you see it before us

Ouch allright, i know just what you mean, i have tried that myself

nice collection Tahr, im currently having a custom knife made for me by Steve Martin in Nelson, S/S (ATS-34) drop point with micarta scales....cant wait

Thanks for the vid Tahr, I liked that detail at the end about the curved profile of the blade giving you a fulcrum to work against when gutting, I'm gonna try that with my next knife

Here's some from the vid in action:
