🤓 Three easy systems to sharpen you revurve edges. (All three should be finished off with a leather strop) 1. KME consistent angle sharpener with their special three staged recurve stoned. This will do perfect work reasonably quick. 2. Belt sandernls are very recurve friendly. I use the Harbor Freight 30x1" sander and ordered an assortment of belts up to 1000 grit on Amazon. But I free hand however and the Ken Onion Work Sharp looks very easy for someone without that skill. 3. Using the edges of an auto glass window as your stone. I actualy have a loose car window from junk yard. I just prop it up and use the edge of the glass just like I free hand on a stone. The honing process is slower if the edge is realy dull because glass is very fine but it'll get a very sharp eventual or it can also be used as for just touch up or as a finisher for a belt systems.
So I have this Gladius Machete and it's a Thick piece of steel so I Grinded Down the Side so it was Even...and then i Sharped it..taking off all the Black paint on the Blade and in doing that it made the Blade lighter so now it's lighter and it Cuts into thing very easily and Deep...because coldsteel had the Edge so thick it would only cut just very little now that i Fixed the Grand it cuts Straight through things it could not do before and now it's a Shiny Sharp Machete Blade that that now looks like and feels and Cuts like a Small Sword...its Crazy what you can do with this Blade...it takes Time but it fun and the out Come is something to See...again it's a Thick piece of Steel and you can make it what you want if you haven't got one get ONE...Because they give you alot of Steel
My boyfriend uses the Spartan heavily as a work knife and adores it. The grip is a bit big or poorly spaced for me. I do carry various voyagers. If you aggressively swing the XL versions outward in an arc, you can kinetic open any of them. Be indelicate and hold on tight. It is definitely worth it to sand under the pocket clip.
I recently got closely acquainted with this machete 😂 While at my buddies camp, I was chopping small branches and brush. I did an overhand swing cutting downward (stupid, I know) and slashes right into my lower right leg. Split it wide open, 48 stitches or so to close, cut down to the first layer of muscle. All healed up now. But I can say, I would NOT want to be on the other end of this machete. I got lucky, thankfully. This thing can do serious damage, I know first hand.
Ah yes, the Trench Hawk. You do realize it's only purpose in life is to Un-alive some one? Its not meant for camping. And you can get a new handle for it, from Cold Steel. Ah yes, the Viking Bearded Axe from Cold Steel. I have one and its a good "Combat" axe.
Okay, tomahawk heads are friction fit to the handle. So you need to remove the set screw and sand the top of the handle, just enough so the wood is flush with the eye of the hawk, but have about a 1/2 inch of the handle sticking above the eye. That set screw is the worst thing Cold Steel has come up with. Oh, and I've been collecting knives, axes and tomahawks, since the mid 80's :) P.S. You need to get the Ken Onion Edition of the Work Sharp, then get the belt grinder attachment. You will put a good edge on any edged tool you own.
Ah yes, Cold Steel Tomahawks and Axes. I have quite the collection myself. That Rifleman's Hawk, is referred to by many as the Magnum of the Cold Steel Tomahawk line. I've put a 24 degree edge on mine, and it cops and splits wood nicely. I think I will have to do a video for my channel on my collection of Axes and Tomahawks. I have many.
Ceramic Rods, aka, Crock Sticks. Or bet the Ken Onion Edition Work Sharp. The one inch wide belts are just perfect for sharpening the Rajah 2. I should know I have one, its sitting by my computer. Its a Pocket Khukuri. It's not plastic. It is some time of glass filled nylon.
A pack of coyotes😂 I carry very large knives because i want to and oddly enough none of the XL folders have blades longer than my own tool. Oh well some peoples kids. Always carry a knife for utility and if needed in a last ditch effort for defense.
I’ve been carrying the drop point voyager xl and I can see myself going the way of buying each of the ones you did after yours. I should just skip straight to the espada and save myself some money.
About the pepper spray?????!!!!!! Felon's can't even carry that!! In fact,in most states, felon's aren't supposed too carry a simple little, pocket knife 😔. Now with the being said, I guess I'm getting rid of my Rajah2!!😢 Which is a real kick in the balls!!!😮
But what if they have a g@t? I wouldn't try pulling it out if I was you? I don't think an attacker is going to wait until the 'wave' feature catches to deploy the knife! Not to mention explaining brandishing a large knife to the police? 🤔💀
In a modern context, a handguard like you might see on a saber or cutlass would serve to protect your fingers from the sticks, clubs, and machetes that goblins tend to wield.
Coyotes are pretty much cowards. Mountain Lions, well you will never see it coming. Dogs will be the worst, then people. I carry a hiking staff, made from Hickory. I now have the Rajah 2, which I will carry from now on. As for a gun. I prefer a revolver, double action. Right now the one I have is just a .22 LR revolver. But it would not be too bad. Mountain Lions usually attack from the rear.
