fired up the forge for the first time and wanted to test out my railroad anvil so i started beating on this old oregon brand file and decided to turn it into a tanto shank. also made a new handle for my grapefruit knife after the old plastic one cracked from people being to lazy and putting it in the dishwasher.

Not sure if there's a plain edge version.

Lately I've been wanting a dagger to add to my collection. Not sure why, completely non-functional but they're pretty badass.

Something like an Extrema Ratio Suppressor would be cool:

I recently cleaned up my edc Endura by convexing the blade and polishing up the clip. The convex blade cuts much better than the original grind.

So I've been carrying a victorinox hercules backpacking for years.

Realized recently that I almost only ever use it for cutting cheese and rope, and that maybe a smaller, lighter single-blade folder would be the ticket.

So my question is, what's the lightest little knife that still gets the job done. I don't want a tiny keychain unit, so let's be reasonable. Any suggestions? I've got some MEC credit, so maybe from there?

Thanks

seems like the place to ask….sharpening knives, kitchen knives to be exact. Whats a decent system or type of stone(s) to get the job done. I could google, but seems like there might be a few people in the know in this thread….plus the thread could get derailled into a arguement about fracking.
