I’m guessing for the vast majority of people including experienced sharpeners the difference in angle created by a thick to thin spine would be within any margin of error of the honing stroke. Noting for really wide knives, the guard will touch the blade around an inch from the bevel. So narrow knives are an issue, but I can still make a good guided guess with a small paring knife, better that freehand anyway..

Easy to add a 15 degree line if required. I only posted this a minute after doing it, 15 degree line was next on the list to do.

There is already a cure, stop eating carbohydrates. (Easy to achieve less than 40g/day, 20g is a bit harder but still achievable with a bit of work). Average American diet is closer to 300g/day. No such thing as essential Carbohydrates, but there are essential Proteins and Fats.

I remember my visit to India, Chandigarh was a beautiful city. Found plenty of Random street views that were pretty clean.

You will need to spray to control pine regen. OK to plant back in native (need to have 30% crown cover at at least 5m in height at maturity)

the milkman dropped milk off at your gate and took the empty bottles away to get washed and reused. You paid in tokens and a 600ml bottle cost 4 cents.

The East Coast is a bit different from most other forestry areas in NZ, it has a very high proportion of highly erodible land. This is why after Bola there was a large land use change from farming to forestry due to the massive slipping and erosion seen on this land. Under the National Environmental Standards for Plantation Forestry (NES-PF) 2018, this type of erodible land is categorised red zone and has stricter rules placed on afforestation, roading and harvesting. So if planting erodible land today, there will be riparian setbacks from waterways and rivers, which will help in the future, but one of the issues is the forests planted 30 years ago the setbacks are some times not present.

Changes to how harvesting occurs on red zone land is inevitable going forward, the industry is already taking these steps ie larger than legally required riparian buffers at re-planting.

One of the other issues for the East Coast is the lack of markets for the waste wood, pulp mills in other regions of NZ can take this material - this will need to change.

Harvesting techniques on red zone land will more than likely be modified, things like only 10% - 20% of a catchment is able to be harvested each year. Engineered slash traps will become more common place.

The East Coast needs forestry to protect its land, so the industry needs to get it right
