First handmade knife

DAMN, NICE WORK! I JUST WISH I COULD SHARPEN A KNIFE!
@SETH RINGER
Sharpening a knife is easy. For years I did use a couple of sharpening stones and a lot of time. Usually got great results.
Fast forward a lot of years and I got smarter ( some say dumber) and got a
Ken Onion work sharp belt sharpening system.
This removes very little metal and is variable speed with belts from 120 grit for rough edges then work thru to a 600 grit. For the final polish it even comes with a 6,000 grit.
Angles are adjustable from 15-30 degrees as well.
I used a compromise angle of 22.5 degrees. This gives a wicked sharp and durable edge.
The beauty of the ken onion work sharp is you can start with a blade that won't even cut butter and have it scary sharp that will slice your eyeballs by looking at it in around five minutes.

This is an affordable, easy, fool proof sharpening system..

I make knives and have much more expensive, complicated tools for getting a razor edge on a blade…

But for quick easy edges on everything from kitchen knives to pocket knives I use the warthog…

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris

Hello:
I’ll take the .375 Whitworth for $1,150 if the deal falls through.
Thanks .
