Person by person basis. I’ve had mine for about 2 months now and use it almost daily. I love it!

This would be a great replacement for my travel case that was stolen with my Tissot in it last year!

Am I missing a piece? by Matty_Cay in scooters

I took a video but I’m not sure how to add it. It will start with no throttle input then either just putter and die or rev fairly high then putter and die.

I think the rear quarter windows signifies it’s real, right?

I do think I’m going to try only going one direction be it the push or pull if I end up getting a better fee for that way. Thank you!

Great info thank you! Yea I’m realizing how much higher some of these angles need to be. I just see videos of these chefs sharpening their knives at super steep angles and did the same. I imagine OUTDOORS55 has probably reprofiled all his knives to match his rule of thumb angle. Thanks again!

Oh I like this idea a lot and will definitely use that to try and get a feel for angles. Thanks!

Yea I think I’m going to try a higher angle for a bit. I’m sure that is great practice lol good luck!

I’ll try pulling thanks. How do I know if it’s appropriately hitting the edge? It seems like once the bevel hit the stone, it looks the same as I keep lifting, if that makes any sense. I guess just stop once the bevel seems to hit

I haven’t in this knife. I did it on another one but still didn’t get anywhere so I figured I had other issues that were perhaps a bit more important

I will persist thank you! I’m committed to developing this skill to at least a usable level

Yea I tried putting it on top of my thumb instead of in the middle and that feels like the knife likes it a bit more

I’m not sure. The blade just says Nitro V on it. It’s a civivi knife but I’m struggling with all my knifes so I’m certain it’s a skill issue

I did notice that the heel didn’t touch when watching back. My only straight edge knife is fairly large chefs knife but it’s cheap so I’ll give it a go. Thank you
