In fact I don't remember seeing knive in our regs, but it is a good
practice. Expecially if you have to cut others line out of the prop.
Maybe even 2 or 3. Me, I have one on my belt and another in the tackle
box as a minimum. Usually a couple more at the fish cleaning station.
Need to cut rope or a fish, or fishing line, only a quick reach away.
But keeping them shape. Same problem in the home. Real pain in the
crack. What experiences work best to get these things sharp enough to
shave with? Not gimick solutions, I mean get knives real
professionally sharp but do it at home or the cottage. What methods
are people using?
You'll have no luck with sharpening knives or doing anything else with
them while Obama is in there. Wait a while.
In the meantime tell your wife to get get one of the electrics
mentioned, or have her read the reviews and select one.
Don't have to go beyond a double bevel unless you're real particular
about that.
Then have her select a couple quality diamond steels - one for the
tackle box, one for the glove box.
You want your knives sharp enough to shave hair off skin.
But don't try that yourself with Obama in there.
Your wife can use her arms or legs for testing the blades for now.
Have her do the sharpening at home, then take her with you where ever
you go and let her do all the needed touch-up steel honing when away
from the electric.
Best to have her do the cutting too unless you want get some of those
steel mesh gloves for yourself.
When Obama's gone she can teach you what she was doing, and you can
start doing all that yourself. Won't need the gloves either.
You'll be safe with him gone, and won't get all gashed up.
That's assuming they don't elect Al Sharpton to succeed him.
Jim - Got the best advice for Canuck57.
Don't think I would want to come near Obama with a knife.
If I accidentally cut him, the balloon would burst and I would be all
covered in ****.
Liking the electric with a strap. My wife likes coming fishing.
