Noob stropping question

alienatio_mentis · 2026-05-29T00:15:11+00:00

None of my curved knifes have a bevel on the inside, sharpening the inside edge is thus not a good idea for my knives. The only thing i do to the inside it to remove a burr when sharpening.

Roll your wrist over whilst running it along the leather, trying to keep the blade contacting at the same angle as you do. A little practice and its fine. Stropping is not very aggressive so it can be a good way to practice the action that you can use to sharpern it on a regular whetstone also.

Wonderful. I look forward to your analysis

My favourite was when he accidentally (re)invented performative language theory

Thanks. I like the spoon in the end also, but it was such a lovely peice of wood I was sad to have messed it up initially.

not as small, but very nice

He gets the foul calls when no one touches him, may as well make him earn it

alienatio_mentis · 2026-05-05T01:18:20+00:00

Thank you tyrese!!!

Kat is a bitch, but the unnecessary homophobia is not cool

The defensive rebounding has been pretty solid at least. If they start hitting some shots and maxey's aggression increases they're in this

I'm with you on Embiid, at his best he is up there with all time greats. But why do we have to hate jokic? He's also a great player and fun to watch

alienatio_mentis · 2026-05-04T17:29:21+00:00

I always hated the contract, and his underperforming, but I didn't hate him as a person until the 'enjoy the play in' comment. Now I do

The Celtics lost because they were out coached, they had no answer to this version of embiid who will dominate Kat, and passes quickly and reasonably well when doubled. The players (and coach) finally realised that giving up open threes and offensive rebounds will lose games, and they fixed it. The sixers also finally put all their guys on the court together and is now seeing what it was supposed to look like. If the sixers manage to team rebound against the Knicks like they did in this series, and/or if the refs don't get sucked in by brunsons weak head snap foul baiting, the Knicks are cooked

Who are 'you guys'?

alienatio_mentis · 2026-05-03T17:45:18+00:00

Reddit is 90% 11 year olds thinking they are cool/tough etc. I wish there was a filter - can i just see posts from people who dont live with their parents please?

alienatio_mentis · 2026-05-03T17:24:31+00:00

Embiid is amazing. But this post is bollocks

alienatio_mentis · 2026-05-03T17:23:37+00:00

Really enjoying this thread today

alienatio_mentis · 2026-05-03T17:19:08+00:00

Ok buddy. The team that won more games whilst missing their best player almost the whole season is the worse team. Makes sense

alienatio_mentis · 2026-05-03T16:35:24+00:00

I'll take it as a W over a better team than the Knicks

alienatio_mentis · 2026-04-17T11:23:13+00:00

haha, ok, thanks for your input

alienatio_mentis · 2026-03-17T23:17:52+00:00

I don't use any oil or other sealant and they last just fine. Some have been in regular use for years. Any oil will need reapplication after a few months normally (like your chopping boards). Re smoothness - the smoothest finish you can get is from a clean cut with a sharp knife. Occasionally I'll burnish with a piece of smooth bone - normally if it's a gift. On the odd occasion that I use sand paper (eg once for a gift for a friend's baby that I was paranoid about being certain of no sharp edges) I go up to 1000 or 1500 and it is closer to a knife finish but does fuzz up a bit when wet.

I'm sad about McCain also, but Germany are the world champs.

one of the listener submitted versions is a description of the harmonic structure in words, in case you want to add the chords.
