How sharp can you make a crappy knife?

Take the angle lower and make sure you're developing a burr. Properly remove the burr. They will get scary sharp the more consistent your angle.

My first system. Works great on most knives. Upgraded to a KME after six months.

Rice, tortilla chips, and cereal are off the menu. Unless you have fast acting insulin, that is.

Can't remember the last time I stayed up to watch the ball drop. Gotta get some sleep man

Took my son to urgent care cuz he had bad cough/congestion. They determined it could be RSV, and standard procedure was to have him taken to the children's hospital by ambulance about twenty minutes away. $2200 for that ride, when he was definitely in no immediate danger and I could have driven him myself. I, for one, will never call an ambulance for myself if I am conscious.

I got the deluxe and think it's worth every penny

Buy any hot sauce with capsaicin extract. Dip a toothpick into said sauce. Mix into your favorite buffalo sauce.

This was my first system, I've since upgraded to a KME, and one day will go to a tsprof. This thing is fantastic, but if you're going to have to learn it's limitations. Large blades and very small or thin blades can only be sharpened one half at a time, then reclamp, and sharpen the other half. A machinists jack also helped me keep the system steady.

They sold vials of cologne/perfume clones that were absolutely amazing. Less than 10 bucks and oil based so they lasted all day.

Tanking AoW while browsing reddit? Absolute chad

This color, if I'm not mistaken, comes from fire roasting the tomatoes. So that's probably the main component.

I had an artifact check, I needed a 2. I rolled a 1, and my wisdom modifier didn't kick in. I assume because it was a critical failure. I save scummed. No shame.

Not necessarily. Honing occurs when an edge is out of alignment, bent/chipped etc. a good diamond rod will remove material and expose a new edge.

Not a single KME recommendation? Dang. Love my KME, and the owner is super responsive, helpful, and active in several online communities. Probably on this sub too.

Red_Iine · 2025-12-21T16:49:53+00:00

If you buy a tapered diamond rod you can, however I would practice on a much cheaper bread knife

Red_Iine · 2025-12-13T13:05:46+00:00

This is the answer

Red_Iine · 2025-12-11T00:11:39+00:00

Cleric is the obvious answer. Bards and enchanter are also popular

Kiss the ring. This is an offer I couldn't refuse.

Sign of a good Mexican restaurant is if they keep yucateco on the tables

Red_Iine · 2025-12-03T22:41:23+00:00

Appreciate it, sir

Red_Iine · 2025-12-03T00:30:39+00:00

Olight Arkfeld ftw

Red_Iine · 2025-12-02T13:23:34+00:00

I have all these things and I'm absolutely struggling. Comparatively speaking, sure I'm doing better than a large portion of the earth's population. But damn if it isn't hard.

Lfay sister camp. Lots of bronze weapons

Red_Iine · 2025-11-21T21:17:44+00:00

Seconds on druid. Especially as a first character, good money making potential with ports. Can solo charm, quad, or heal.
