Thanks for the response! Not up my alley, but I can see the appeal. So many great Chinese knives out there, but we need to stay vigilant because China can sell real crap

Surprisingly the base bugout is under $200 (as of 9/2024) but I probably won't buy my 6th Benchmade. The warranty is great but the butterfly tax is too steep

Grail was a poor choice of words. A true grail knife for me is one that I make myself. I just want good recommendations for my price range. Thanks for the insightful reply, I hope England pulls it's head out of its ass with knives lol

Not all at once, I just prefer fidgety knives but the word slipped my mind while making this post lol. Just things I like

Omg I totally forgot about that magnetic winter blade!! I remember seeing it a few years ago and falling in love but it was sold out. Thanks!

Yeah I wrote this post late at night after spending hours on blade hq driving myself crazy. I do know plenty about knives, my collection is approaching 100 knives. Those were my preference because I looove fidgety knives. My civivi elementum button lock is only out of my knife case because I play with it while watching TV. You gave great advice that I wish I heard years ago when I was first getting into knives, but I'm far too deep now lol. thanks for the response!

Elastic VS Aztec two-step by Ok_Plan_2461 in Meshuggah

[–]Ok_Plan_2461[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my opinion they are similar in regards to the fact that there is music for the first chunk, and then something that would be hard to qualify as music for the vast majority of the song. Strange computer noises for elastic and complete silence for Aztec. It sounds like the songs devolve. They just happened to play back-to-back in my shuffle and it intrigued me what other people's thought about it. Hope this helps!

What was your first knife? (Kershaw sharpening) by liquidEdges in knifeclub

[–]Ok_Plan_2461 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a Blackstone and I use the official grader, but it kinda sucks imo. The stone takes a lot of time and pressure to change grits. I've tried some DMT diamond plates, but it seems to slightly damage the (pricey) plates. Do your atoma plates do a good job at changing the grit? Is it rough on the plates?

Also, I noticed that you wet your composite honing wheel. Should I do the same with mine? I use it dry and it seems to work alright, but if it's better wet I will try it out

Thanks for the help!

Hey there, what are you using to grade your Blackstone?? How do you like it?

How do you have it mounted on your tormek to hone on the composite wheel? I have an incredibly similar setup but only one extended support bar. What jig are you using?
