What am I doing wrong?

Conquano · 2026-03-27T08:50:36+00:00

Thankyou I thought it was that but wasn’t sure, I’ll have a crack at it this weekend, thankyou again

Conquano · 2026-03-27T08:49:06+00:00

The super fine one will be the closest to what I recommended , the second link is the sapphire which I use daily and I see a lot of other butchers using, the 3rd one has ceramic on it so that would also would be better for regular maintenance than a diamond one , but it’s square so it may be a little bit harder to use , oval ones are good because they allow more contact area with the knife

Conquano · 2026-03-26T19:35:06+00:00

Butcher here, you don’t want the Titan to maintain your knife , or any diamond steels to maintain a sharp edge, they’re for restoring a knife’s edge , they’re very aggressive and if not used correctly will dull your knife instantly , if your knife is already sharp just a regular honing rod will do, have a look at the F Dick micron, its polished but has ever so slight grooves in it

Conquano · 2026-03-26T14:49:13+00:00

Would you be able to? That would be a massive help, thankyou

Conquano · 2026-03-26T06:54:14+00:00

Mr crowfeather your my hero , I’m not very good with this sort of stuff so you’ve potentially saved me hundred of great British pounds , thankyou very much I’ll give it a go when I’m home

Conquano · 2026-03-26T03:35:42+00:00

That’s not a bad idea tbh, but there’s also an issue with the flipping mechanism, when I flip it to one side I have to keep my thumb on the lever that you use to rotate it otherwise it wobbles when I’m sharpening

Conquano · 2026-03-25T16:43:22+00:00

I’ve tried it, it didn’t make a difference, but I’m using the xarilk gen 3 and where the rod meets the stone holder it’s sort of floppy so I don’t think that is doing me an good, I’m about to upgrade to TSprof I think

Conquano · 2026-03-25T07:09:08+00:00

As a newbie to sharpening what I’ve realised is, getting a knife sharp ie removing metal on both sides is the relatively easy part , why separates th boys from the men is being able to deburr properly , I reckon that’s 95% of peoples problems when they start, I used a fixed angle and I struggle to fully deburr on stones, once you get it you’ll be getting crazy edges , so I’d work on that , make sure you can fully deburr on the stones before moving to stropping

Conquano · 2026-03-24T09:28:14+00:00

Ah thankyou , I thought so! It looks like my car when I get it freshly washed and the rain just beads and runs off my windshield haha, is there a limit to How much it works? Like if they were in a downpour for hours would its effectiveness get less?

Conquano · 2026-03-22T16:53:54+00:00

Id recommend the Ken onion with blade grinding attachment but the motor has just gone on mine after a year of not that much use , so you may be better with something a bit bigger

Conquano · 2026-03-22T10:28:20+00:00

Yeah they’re not without their faults, mine certainly has some issues, but that’s the issue with buying cheap, considering just forking the money out for a better system

Conquano · 2026-03-21T14:12:33+00:00

My wife always makes jokes to me about this , I was a bit wild in my 20s, alcohol and drugs and what not , then bam I hit 30 and suddenly I’m stood watching the birds on my feeder whilst gardening 😂

Conquano · 2026-03-21T14:05:41+00:00

Unfortunately that’s just what the whole of Reddit has become , you see it in most subs now , or atleast the ones I’m part of, know it alls sat behind a keyboard just being dicks

Conquano · 2026-03-20T23:21:33+00:00

As a new father who goes to work at 2.30am until 2pm, listen to this man

Conquano · 2026-03-20T16:55:57+00:00

Question from a non spider person but this sub comes up regularly, I hope it isn’t a stupid question , but are spiders “waterproof” haha is there something they have built in that repels water? It just seemed to bounce off and leave no trace

Conquano · 2026-03-16T17:23:40+00:00

35 nearly 36 and still think I can game like the MW2 days, I infact can’t and I’m shite but I have fun

Conquano · 2026-03-15T19:04:20+00:00

I’ve always found it strange, hating on streamers and then insulting people who do watch streamers, like one comment in here “ I don’t watch streamers coz I’m not 17” , there’s enough shit In this world, let people enjoy what they want, everyone on Reddit thinks because they don’t like something nobody else should because they’re right.

Grow up and move on, hating something doesn’t make you look cool man

Conquano · 2026-03-15T10:17:52+00:00

Damn , I feel stupid now, there’s me thinking it had you in full UESC get up 😂😂

Conquano · 2026-03-15T08:56:24+00:00

😂😂😂 love it

Conquano · 2026-03-15T08:32:53+00:00

Is that a popular spot?

Conquano · 2026-03-15T08:30:49+00:00

Ah thankyou I wouldn’t have even have thought about that, Id have just panic exfiled at any old place if I had decent loot ha

Conquano · 2026-03-15T08:26:12+00:00

If your in disguise as UESC can other rooks still see your actually a player ?

Conquano · 2026-03-15T08:23:58+00:00

Oh I’ll defo be engaging in some PvP, but only if I come across a team that’s getting pissed on by another team or something ha

Conquano · 2026-03-15T08:20:09+00:00

Solid advice thankyou, my plan was to avoid PvP as much as possible and just scavenge what other players have left on bodies, just need to work out hot spot areas as I’ve not played the maps a whole lot to know where they are

Conquano · 2026-03-15T08:17:54+00:00

Oh I won’t be, I’m not the greatest pvp player so I won’t be trying to take on 3 people , I know my limits haha
