    Does a damn good job on a machete too.

    I can see where a tanto would be tricky. Fortunately I don?t have one.

    I did a few of the kitchen knives first because they needed it and I could practice. I did a couple of my smaller folders that were already sharp so they didn?t need much. Then I broke out my ZT 0350. That sucker is hard to sharpen. Pertly because of the steel and partly because of the recurve edge or whatever you call it. It?s good as (or better than) new now.

    So far I haven?t rounded any tips on anything silly like that.

    What's the difference, outside price and the Ken Onion name?

    I jacked up my Benchmade Infidel blade trying to get a nick out using my Ken Onion. I may have had too many beers before said encounter.

    The Blade Grinding Attachment is well worth the money. Bigger, wider belts and better control than the stock Ken Onion.

    Springfield Armory Larry Vickers Master Class 1911. Also had the first range trip today, very happy with it. I did change the grips to the VZ Vickers and not only do I get a better grip they look better than the green ones lol. It came with 2 of the Vickers mags but I prefer the lower profile of the Wilson. Yes, I'm a dinosaur. Learned to shoot with a 1911 a mere 52 years ago, I do own a Glock 19 lol, and the 1911 is still my preferred pistol.

    The pistol is a combined effort from Springfield, Wilson and Vickers with Lipsey's handling the distribution.

    Scored at the nearby Ace Hardware, 75 grain boat tail hollow point 5.56, there was no limit, but I couldn?t get carried away.

    iPad Air Gen 4, with a Zagg Pro Keys case, picked it up to replace my laptop that took a crap, and this thing is awesome, does everything my laptop did (for my uses) and more, as it?s nice to be able to respond to text messages while using it, the unlimited 4g is nice as well.
