Just had a water pipe bust in the bathroom under the sink. What a s#!t show

Oh man, I feel for you.

Piping water into the house seems like the stupidest idea ever at times like that

Btw. . This is exactly how I feel about it.

Probably the victorinox outshined the benchmade.

I don’t actually know

The benchmade is my buddy’s knife, I’ve never used one, but he has no complaints

I’ve used and abused that little victorinox, it’s a handy little knife... I probably have 10 of the same make in different blade lengths/styles in my knife roll, but reach for the little guy most and first...

Here is a link, but I don’t think this is a good price... I haven’t kept up, but I feel like this should not cost more than $14... I’m sure I gave less than $10...

It’s a serious little work horse of a knife... I should shop around and buy another one...

I do use a hone ( butcher steel ) to true the edge habitually... and I for me a good hone/steel is almost as important as the blade...

I use stones and a leather strop with aluminum oxide and polishing compound. If you don’t abuse the knife you really only ever have to strop it every now and then to maintain a hair shaving edge.

I’ve never used a strope, I’m in fact completely ignorant of them... but interested

You can use a leather belt as a strope. A stopes purpose is to nock off the leftover burr left from sharpening metal. If you have a good knife that holds a edge good most of the time you can hit it on a stop a couple times and get it right back razor sharp

I should give it a try... I’m not sure I see the need for my “work knives” like the victorinox because I seldom actually sharpen them, instead I just true the edge with the steel/hone and they’re ready for business...

but I do have some knives that might benefit from a strop after sharpening on a stone...
