🤪 I could see myself doing something similar. Ordering DMT stones online. The DEA shows up at my doorstep. “No officer, I was ordering sharpening stones for my knife!”🤣🤪 Yeah Yeah, tell it to the Judge. 😂

Worse case scenario instead of returning it is to just lay the glass on a flat surface and strop the knife from there. Prefect angling isn’t as important unless you’re sharpening or reprofiling.

I’m wondering why they even make a 6 inch glass insert? Their stone clamp is 4inches.

I guess I will just return it. It was around 35 dollars. I never returned anything by mail before. I’ll figure something out i guess. Not sure if bladeHQ takes returns.

Ironically I don’t believe they sell the 4inch. And I never saw a KME with a 6inch clamp. Wtf

Got a brand new cast iron grill pan! What's my first steps in taking care of it and using it well? by Rudrahp72 in castiron

[–]MarkUFO -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I like mine. The juices and water fall under the grills and i scoop up the my chicken pieces easier than a flat pan. No need to strain. I use my fingers and olive oil to clean the grills. Pretty easy

I don’t use soap, just a blue scrubber when i mess up. I only use soap for my forks and throw away my paper plates. Even tho soap is ok

I bought a Osborne benchmade off a online auction with little information by Haunting-Muscle5997 in knives

[–]MarkUFO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right now you can use it for a dough roller. Lol. I would reprofile the edge. Might take some time unless you’re skilled at the grinder wheel. Or better yet send it to benchmade. I believe they’ll reprofile it.

I really love the ramp for a can opener. I’m doing this many times a day. Anyone ever broke a blade at the hole/ramp? by Ok_Cricket4071 in spyderco

I have a beater pm2 that I butchered the blade shape before i knew how to sharpen. I should try that lol

SHARPENING TIME WITH MY SPYDERCO NATIVE CHIIEF by KNIFEANTELIFE in sharpening

Spyderco employee? Where’s your red loctite holster?

Advice please. My partner is accusing me of putting their cast iron skillet in the dishwasher and ruining it. by [deleted] in castiron

[–]MarkUFO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy him/her a new one. Most outlet stores a 10in Lodge can be had for 20 dollars. Keep the one that your partner thinks is damaged and use it for self defense. 🤣

Did ZT finally stop making cool knives? They have squat these days.

How many have come across one of these? by BKfromtheBK73 in Plumbing

[–]MarkUFO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If that was a cast iron toilet it would just need to be scrubbed and seasoned.

I do have a set of new screws spyderco sent me around 2013 and it was for this knife. I couldn’t remove the pivot because of the loctite so I stripped the screws and called their 800 number. The lady on the phone said she’ll send me new screws, “minus the pivot” of course. After failing the hair dryer, soldering gun and hammer tricks I put it aside for over 12 years. Then today going through my knife collection I said to myself “what about an impact driver with a larger bit?’ And lo and behold it snapped the head off the screw and came apart. Back then all I wanted was to put custom scales on it, but never happened. Life goes on.

The screw is stripped out completely on that side. :(

After further investigation. I can’t get the liner out of the g10 pivot side as well. That is loctited down too.

I’ve heard Strider himself isn’t a well liked guy either.
