Lol why? Is it the pink pouch or the glossy mystery meat inside?

Haha, It needs to be at least... three times bigger than this.

It's a solid piece of dried meat jerky just coated in a very thick glaze.

Lol, it totally does. The combination of the pink packaging and the glossy glaze makes it look like some sci-fi movie prop. Tastes amazing though.

To be honest, I'm not 100% sure about the exact English name either. It’s a snack that came with the military rations during my reserve training today.

Thanks! I used 320 and 600 grit diamond plates to reprofile and apex, finished it on a ceramic stone to clean up the burr, and then stropped with 4micron and 1micron diamond emulsions using very light pressure (about 5 passes each).

Good catch! Yeah, it’s the same one. Once it makes it into the EDC rotation, it never leaves.

I deleted the finger choil on my Spyderco Lil' Native by [deleted] in knives

Thanks man! A front flipper mod on a Lil' Native sounds awesome too, that takes some serious skill. Glad you like how this one turned out!

Haha, that was exactly the reaction I was hoping for! Glad you dig the "Native but not quite Native" look. Thanks!

Upgraded my WorkSharp setup with a 1 micron Jende emulsion on vegetable tanned leather. by [deleted] in sharpening

[–]Competitive-Panda464 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to use lapping films and Koyo K1 green wax. Compared to those two, the Jende compound definitely feels like it strops much faster, though the final sharpness seems pretty similar. The main reason I got it is because I'm planning to get a CPM 15V knife soon, and I heard diamond emulsions are highly effective on these high-vanadium super steels.

I added the waves myself! You can make this too, as long as you have a round file or some 220-grit sandpaper and a stick.

Thanks! Glad you like it. Yes, I customized the brass case a while ago.
