Re: Why my knife always dull ?

1) sharpen at a less acute angle.
2) Get a better knife.
3) Don't expect cheap knives to hold edges that long

Re: Replace coarse stock stone on Edge Pro

Re: 3K Diamond Plate

I can tell she has a prey drive- chasing wind blown napkins, small birds etc. Just hasn't caught something yet.

Re: Sticking your nose where it doesn't belong :)

Sticking your nose where it doesn't belong :)

There is a surgical procedure performed on concert grade pianists where a ligament is severed allowing the extensor indicis to have a greater range of motion. FWIW.

Re: .75 micron CBN sale

Fwiw, in addition to this CBN spray I also have .75 CBN emulsion and paste, polycrystalline spray and emulsion. It's why I have so many formulations! Good luck!
