RE: It wasn't meant to happen

in Weekend Experienceslast year (edited)

There is no substitute for a really fine edge! And handling is an issue, so I intend to be very careful after it's sharpened. I will initially practice with one of the dull ones, until I get it into muscle memory. Then I'll see if I can do some damage to some target items!

I had an idiot in high school that grabbed a knife I was sharpening on the bus to the vo tech. He drew it across his thumb...and cut it to the bone! He didn't even know he'd cut himself....

👍😁🤔💙🤠👌💗

Sort:  

I recall doing some practice with a butterfly knife back in the day, (balisong), I'm assuming you know how they flick and twirl them to open and closed positions. Anyway, many cuts later I mastered it. My point...I wish I had a blunt one to practice with. Lol.

Deserved it. Although, that's pretty harsh I guess, I should remember that people are so clueless.

He was telling me that I didn't know how to sharpen a knife...we called him 'mouth' because he thought he knew everything.

It took 4 stitches to close!

I may do a post on sharpening, most people don't know how.

🤔😳🤕😑👍👌🤠

I knew a guy we called Cluedo like that game... because he didn't know much, had no clue mostly, but couldn't keep his trap shut.

Do the sharpening post.

He was clueless, sad really; just couldn't shut up....

I'll look at that, might be fun.

👍👌🤠💗😆

We went to the yearly machine gun shoot today. My Son got to shoot a Ma Duce (M2 BMG) today! Fun and loud.

👌😁🤠💙👍💗🎯😆

I'm not jealous.

(Yes I am.)

Next time you come up here, come this time of year; and we'll go play, ROFLOL.

They had a minigun I was tempted to shoot, but they had to go back to their store, because they were having ammo problems. All that was left was blank rounds, so I'll shoot it next year.

They likely had 400+ machine guns there to rent (you buy the ammunition to rent the guns). I saw about a dozen BARs in the bays (I want one, LOL), but my shoulder isn't up to that toy yet. Too close to the shoulder surgery to be going full auto on an '06!

Gotta get it healed before hunting season....

👍🤠😁🎯😆🤔👌🐾🐶🐾

I've fired a couple BAR's and yep, you have to do it! Get that shoulder right though, they don't mind giving the user a little kick.
