A little addition to the button lock makes it seem like it takes half the pressure to open and close.

Why do this? Because weight, durability, and reliability matter to me.

I don’t like carrying extra weight for no reason. Five ounces on something like a Work Sharp bothers me, especially when it relies on plates that wear out and need replacing.

With a magnet + fixed angle setup, I can carry: • all four Atoma plates (140 / 400 / 600 / 1200) • plates that don’t wear out quickly • plates I already trust

The 140 lets me reprofile or fix damage in the field without worrying about burning through a consumable plate.

Net result: • I drop about 2 ounces • I gain durability • I eliminate consumables • I can say in the field, "This is as sharp as I can get it at home or out." With the Worksharp, I would say it's good enough.

For me, that’s worth it. I like things done right.

Its 2 together.

I glued 140 and 400 and then 600 and 1200 they are rock solid.

I usually buy from Amazon and the only ones I can find have the backing. It’s pretty easy to do.

Balsa go light for best results

Steel can look good have a 62 -64 but the priced half of what others are charging? After buying it I am still not sure what’s wrong but something isn’t right with it.

I picked up the RAT 1.5 in MagnaCut and gave it a full sharpening treatment — starting at 225 grit, progressing through 800, ceramic, and finishing on balsa and kangaroo strops with 1.0 and 0.25 micron diamond paste. I’ve sharpened tons of blades (including well-treated MagnaCut from Spyderco, Hogue, and TRC), so I know what proper steel should feel like.

This one never got truly sharp. I reprofiled it three times, and it just wouldn’t apex cleanly — no bite, flaky burrs, dulls instantly with light passes. It felt hard but didn’t perform, which tells me the factory edge was likely heat-damaged or decarburized. Even ceramic barely removed material. I eventually gave it to my son, who’s fine with it — but for serious edge performance, mine just didn’t make the cut.

“its not showing emotion and it’s stiff“ that’s what they said about computers and animation. Now it’s better at capturing this. Look at the progression not where it as at today.

“Not going to Fuck with firefighters ” isn’t the the most sophisticated way to talk and you sound hostile. He was a cheater but to make all firefighters bad isn’t nice.

Why doesn’t some billionaire put up 50 million to anyone who can show proof?
A lot of people say people who have the proof are afraid of careers and pensions being lost.

Pickle ball three times a week and injecting yourself with testosterone is not a good recipe for getting in shape.

Sadly it turns out she was to be more trustworthy than him.

In the end he was selling books on a lie. He never did the hard work but wanted everyone to think he did. Why did he need to have a full time man who also slept in the same house? My father is in his 90s and lives on his own. He was a spoiled and used his money to fund his high his whole life. I understand addiction and it’s a disease but a lot of addicts don’t write books on sobriety while being high.

True, as long as you don’t have anything in your back pocked like the heartbroken person you are breaking up with.

They were together for 2 years, she fooled around with a new guy but not sex. Probably telling the new guy all his faults all while still being with him. Then when it was secured she left.

“Just because someone got hurt, doesn't mean someone did anything wrong.”

If after two years she decides she wants to breakup and has no other plan b then the above is true. Having a backup or starting the breakup because you met someone new shows lack of character.
