Nearly at the Ship of Theseus question with this guy.

WTF knife did Jury see in TX track meet stabby trial?

IMO the aspect of it will count for a lot to the jury.

>>65213947
interesting, was it open when in the pack? seems like it musta been

probably help his case, not being the first choice for a stab job

>>65214015
witnesses say he was holding onto something hard enough to make the veins in his arms bulge when he had his hand in his pack.
the witness testimony yesterday was pretty devastating for Anthony, everyone said he went in looking for trouble and being the aggressive one. Metkaf's last words were 'i'm not going to fight you at a track meet'
I was at first thinking it would end with a mansalughter conviction and a few years but now i'm thinking he might be rightfully fucked.

defense's best chance is to remind Jury after the trial they will be targeted by Negroes with full (((liberal establishment))) backing.

Get a load of Orson Wells as Clarence Darrow.

Darrow's legal strategy was to plead guilty to avoid a JURY passing sentences (death) then put the SENTENCING all on the Judge, and remind him it is all "on him", very, very personally......when those being sentenced are sons of criminally insane Jewish mafia very wealthy family. Clearly a thinly veiled death threat against the Judge (who was likely at least semi-corrupt like all judges).

>>65214160
yeah it isn't looking good so far. but defense hasn't gone yet so who knows. tiktok nogs have already poisoned so much of the case that no matter what happens there will be riots or some matter.
they already forcibly escorted people from the courthouse that were trying to record the jury lol

>>65214178
someone needs to do AI cartoons using existing public photos of all the players to get around this 'no cameras allowed' BS and lame "court artist" crap. mock judge and "thought balloons" etc.

I fig about 10 min AI skit would be enough to cover what actually matters in a "full day" of court.

>>65214066
Kind of crazy how pre-meditated murder is a more serious crime than just murdering someone at random because you're a feral coon.

This happening to anyone else? It feels less toothy once I strop it. Besides the mirror finish what's the point of stropping anyways?

>>65214939
stroping lets you knock off the wire burr without effecting the actual knife.
if your strop is making it less sharp it might be a higher grit than your ceramic stone cause of all the shit on it.
or maybe it was a fake sharp edge relying on the burr to cut.

>>65214711
Nobody else wants to touch it

>>65214971
It could just be my mind playing tricks on me because it cuts the same. I can easily slice through brochure paper without it catching and I have no more arm hair with just one pass.

>>65214939
I've experienced this. Are you by chance sharpening a super steel with over 4% vanadium?

>>65214991
No just Magnacut IDK what if it even has any vanadium.

>>65215030
It has 4%. Super steels are weird. The carbides are basically harder than anything but diamond. If you were to sharpen with diamonds every step of the way including strop emulsions, it would be the cleanest edge.
What I do for m4 and s30v on the sharpmaker is completely set the bevel and remove the burr with diamonds (apparently you can even whittle hair with a 320 grit edge as seen on youtube, as long as the burr is removed.) Then, I do less sharpening on the med and fine ceramics, just enough, and it whittles hair. I don't strop those because my compound is just aluminum / titanium oxide. I can strop 420hc and aus8 for a long time and get a nice polished and toothy, sticky edge though.

>>65215056
I'm just doing it on the Work Sharp Field Sharpener, I will probably get a stand eventually but IDK if I want to shell out for a TSPROF Pioneer or just settle for a Work Sharp Precision Adjust. IIRC the plates are:

320 diamond
600 diamond

Then I bought the extra 800 grit diamond, afterward finish on the fine ceramic before stropping. The strop had the green worksharp stuff but I bought some 1.5 micron diamond off Amazon.

>>65215067
It's trial and error. If I'm unsatisfied with an edge, what works for me is going back to the beginning grit and doing it all over again and it seems to come out nicer due to resetting the initial bevel. That looks pretty sharp though.
My Military 2 didn't do well in the precision adjust clamp due to the distal taper.

>>65215097
Isn't the clamp supposed to be designed for that? Most non-kitchen knives have a distal taper.

>>65215105
IDK. It didn't work for me. On youtube, a guy sharpened his para 3 just fine by putting layers of tape on the thinner end where the clamp clamped. For me using just the clamp on a Military 2, the angle seemed to vary. I was trying to keep the 17 degree factory edge. It was easier to just use the sharpmaker 20s and use the 15s to get the worksharp scratches out.

>>65213871 (OP)
What is your main use of your most expensive knife? Is it combat, utility, or just the nice feeling of having an aesthetic tool?
I have a basic Opinel for cutting stuff, and a flat sap (12 ounce) if I ever feel the need to defend myself.

ups is holding my knife hostage until tuesday for some reason

>>65215158
>nice feeling of having an aesthetic tool?
Yeah that one. American Flag Sebenza, so it could do anything needed. I usually have a Mora on me.

>>65215115
Yea I think I understand what you mean now, it 'can' work but its just not fun on Spydercos. Also I've ran into another problem in that the rod cannot hit the bottom 5% of the blade due to the choil getting in the way of the rod holder thing.

Did they at least update the plate to work with modern steels? Because going by this video this thing looked older than me and I'm in my 40s.

another "new normal" along with the signs in the bathrooms about "Please don't stand on toilet and spray wall with your shit" and various Break Room signs.

Combine with latest corp craze of "hot desking" and suddenly HAIR is a big issue. Funny, it was only a once in blue moon issue when American office bunnies were rocking B-52 and other "big hair" looks.

But these days it gets into keyboards behind keys, jams wheels of office chairs, and even into printer's guts, and just left on all furniture, all the time. Get into a company car with light colored clothes and come out looking like a mangy Wookie (the default all black car interior really hides it until too late). Why is their long black hairs...inside the filing cabinet?

Because we as a society have somehow decided that telling the one H1B worker how to use the bathroom properly is more offensive than having the janitors clean it up daily.

Suicidal sympathy will be the death of western civilization.

Speaking of Goldeneye it's recently come to my attention that most people seem to hate the GC game but I liked it. I also liked the DS version, activating Xray vision and blasting dudes through walls with railguns was cool.

I think I just got tricked into paying almost $200 for a fucking PM2S. Still love it but these motherfuckers I am telling you man...

>>65215958
Maybe try clamping it closer towards the handle area so the stone hits that zone where a sharpening choil would be at a 90 degree angle. Might work, might not.

If you have to unfold, flip, hit a switch, press a button, let gravity draw the blade or any other action just to get your knife ready for a fight you will die, fixed blade is the only way you will live.

>>65216013
You can get diamond (~400 grit) and cbn rods. That's what I use on super steels and after that, I use the ceramic mediums and fines just enough and not too much; going back and forth on either side not to have a burr. Because I believe the ceramics abrade the matrix around the carbides and cause them to stand proud of it.

>>65217392
What about autos?

>>65217380
I think I will just get the sharpmaker before the precision adjust. Or maybe just skip it and go TSPROF. People have to print all of these fixes to it that I am a bit hesitant.

>>65215097
I think it has something to do with the steel. 9crv doesn't seem to have this issue. Man I love sharpening cheap steel, its so much fun. And this thing is so sharp it cut me just from gravity alone, no up and down movement.

>>65217442
Is the endura too big for your taste?

>>65217285
I see people recommend chinkshaws all the time even in these threads. The Iridium seems to be very popular.

Has anyone seen any hardness tests of Gerber's S30V? I saw one YT vid where they had 59 HRC but that's a sample size of one.

>>65217645
For me, the sharpmaker is best for spydercos.
I was sharpening my Ka-Bar on the worksharp and found out that while the main straight portion of the blade was 20 degrees as described, the tip was at 23 degrees. So, the times I sharpened it on the sharpmaker, I wasn't even getting the tip. So, I'm happy to have both. If I was you and getting good results with the field sharpener, I might just stick with that. The way my buying steps worked out, I ended up with these training wheels guided systems after not so successfully and with very little knowledge trying to freehand sharpen m4 on an arkansas stone.

>>65217392
If you're relying on a knife to save you in a fight, you're already dead.

>>65217715
I like mine even though I am kinda afraid it would fall apart and cut me since it wobbles like a mofo regardless of how tight i screw down the pivot pin(the auto action doesn't even work anymore). So I've been using my Spyderco lately, but a part of me felt it is too good for chewing through thick carboard.

Maybe I'll get one of those Milwaukee disposable razers, the box cutter they have at work the blade length isn't long enough to push past the thickness of the cardboard though. The blade length needs to be at least 3/4 of an inch.

Is it just me or are all manufacturers shipping their blades dull as shit from the factory now?

>>65217793
Both BM and Spy are now using robot sharpeners, so it might be them.

>>65217825
You'd think robots would be good at sharpening, better even than humans. Hold a blade at a consistent angle and make even controlled passes.
