Walk the talk !

It was one of the 1st blades that I sharpened, when I picked-up my Wicked Edge.

OK, OK .... I get the hint ! I'll shut up now !

 

[Ruger_Ronin]

I definitely share some of the blame.

That's purdeee. New EDC?

You have a Wicked Edge?

Probably EDC for anything not work related. It carries real well on my belt, but would get scarred up real quick at work.

There's nothing that says that a man can't own two snow shovels ..... I shall order one of yours to try !

I have 3! One ergonomic, one “plow type” and an old plastic one just for the deck/dog. Last couple of light snows however, I used my battery powered leaf blower with great success. For heavier snows I use the self propelled one (old craftsman 24” 2 stage).

I understand the soft rolls under the stones and the soft patch under the knife, but I don't understand the soft rolls in front and back of the stand. Please elaborate.

CZ!

Been awhile, but a quick pic of a fully Cajonized P-01 and a CZ Competition Red that's mildly Cajonized at the factory. I think @mcapo and @88E30M50 will recognize the P-01.

The P-01 truly is the better of the two in SA and DA. As it should be, given that it was extensively breathed on by @llh1956. But wow is the SP-01 sweet, though it's SAO. After shooting it, I am impressed with what the SP-01 Competition brings to the table straight from CZ.

1 snow shovel to clean off the steps and porch, old 2 stroke small snow blower for sidewalks and Kubota 3030 for the long driveway. Would love to have the front snowblower for the 3030 but $6000 is a little much for me.

Picked up the Bolens and took it to my guy to get it whipped into shape in a timely manner (i dont have time). The guy i bought it off of even threw in the little 5x10 trailer it was on. Its rusty and needs rewired but the frame, deck, and axle is solid.

Anyways I remembered to grab the TCP when i left so when i dumped the trailer off at the haunted house i could shoot it. Apparently ringing a 12” steel target at 80 yards is no big deal for it. Tested it with a Pmag, RI mag, the DW mags, Corbon JHP ammo thats old as hell, federal FMJ, and the new Critical Duty i picked up just for it. Zero issues, it ate it ALL up and didnt care what magazine it was in. Cleaned and oiled it when i got home. I friggin love this gun except i left a little idiot mark on it where i had to put the paper clip in to hold the recoil spring.


Also the micro 9 runs great as expected and VZ grips should be here tomorrow.

They're just (mostly cosmetic) setup to level the small magnets. The magnets catch the metallic dust coming from the blade. It's a matter of Zen !

You have those ghosts worried now !

I received one of these last week (in the middle of the funeral haze, so it went straight into the safe). Not sure why, but they look gangster'ish, and I had to have one in 300 BLK. Combined with a folding pistol-lower, it should be a fun brute !

I had one of those in 5.56. Lovingly referred to as my “fire extinguisher”. Was quite fun at the group shoots.

The hands move so fast you can't see them!

Very Nice! I use the Razor Edge hones and guides developed by John Juranitch, but have been eyeing this system for some time now. Especially for my son-in-law. He didn't like my set up, so we've tried the Ken Onion Work Sharp. Even though I warned him to be careful and not create a tail on the blade, voilà, his knives have tails. This system looks almost foolproof.

If you liked it, I bet that so will I !
