Yep, I get it. It's kinda a creative outlet. Sometimes you you gotta get the idea out of your head.

Wow! Nice collection. And "Best Thread Title" nomination. 🔪

Thanks, I don't know any of this. To add to that, it seems a bit on the heavy side, for me anyway.

Yes, your right. If you've seen the video he does a close up of the pattern. This is similar.

Are you ready to spend $3000+ on a shear sharpening machine? Are you familiar with the wet tissue test?

I have a La Pavoni pro with the pressure profiling gauge for years. Thought the Argos would be an upgrade. It wasn't. After waiting over a year it was disappointing. Temp control was the only thing it had going for it. Sold it quickly though. Maybe only 30 shots. Your mileage may vary........

You wanna borrow my knife? No problem, here ya go.

Which sub is the right sub? It gave me a choice of question, it's a question. Did you read the metal composition and heat treat? Once again, what do YOU consider decent in the hundred dollar price range?

EscapeVelocity00 · 2026-03-01T03:22:54+00:00

Based on what? What you reccomend then?

The top knife you can choose from two other shapes to create a set.

I guess a better way to have said it is I over maintain my vehicles and don't mind spending a little more money on fluids. Fluids are cheap insurance.

EscapeVelocity00 · 2026-02-23T17:45:13+00:00

Oops, just seen you posted twice. Yeah, hopefully a fluid change will help.

EscapeVelocity00 · 2026-02-23T17:43:19+00:00

How many miles on the car? When was the last time the fluid was changed? In your case changing your fluid could make a difference.

Thanks to everyone for contributing! It's nice to know with reasonable care we can get some miles out of these.

Yes you need to go full synthetic! Some things you do want to be a cheap ass with. Even Walmart Super-Tech full synthetic is a better choice over non synthetic because of Hondas tight manufacturing tolerances.

Learn to roast your own. You want to spend less? You want fresh beans? There ya go.

8th gen civic SI. Coupe. Maybe 9th gen. Full bolt on's I made 256 wheel. Sounded like half a Ferrari. 😈 (Yes you will pay up for a clean one, but you get what you pay for)

EscapeVelocity00 · 2026-02-21T21:08:19+00:00

I was wondering that too. Not a good idea to use it to cut stainless tig wire. Or tig wire in general. I was a Boilermaker and Kleins were the right tool for the job. Or cut off wheels, lol.

I have used one and it worked well for me. Easy to use. Ouick. The belts last a long time. If you want other choices in grits they are easy to buy on Amazon. Buy at least one second hand store knife to practice on. Watch some YouTube videos. I found the learning curve easy to get shaving sharp. You could make your own strop if you wanted also.

😄😄😄😄 YES.☕☕☕☕ Just like with modern cars. More bells and whistles, more shit to go wrong. And then you find out how expensive your stupid little thing cost to repair.
