Anyone who likes coffee can get their coffee fix here. http://www.hemispherecoffeeroasters.com/  Paul has some good coffee from what my friends tells me since i'm not a coffee drinker.  

Paul also helps the growers unlike some of the big companies that only care about filling their pockets instead of helping the growers.


HAVE YOU EVER HAD A KNIFE SO SHARP YOU WERE SCARED OF IT? (a buddy sent me an email after getting his knfie back. here is what he said)

I just got home after midnight and opened the box. The edge is amazing. I am scared to play with that knife now. Richard - you truly are the god of sharpening. Hats off to your skill.

Regards,

Murari

here is a post he made about the same knife.

I FOUND THIS POST ON ANOTHER KNIFE FORUM ABOUT MY SHARPENING ABILITY. (post #2) 

  https://www.edcforums.com/threads/anyone-here-sharpen-knives-and-straight-razors.105173/

 

Here is a link to my paper wheel thread on Bladeforums. https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/paper-sharpening-wheels-when-your-time-is-important-to-you.578787/ 

A SPECIAL MESSAGE TO AN "EX" GOVERNMENT ENGINEER (THAT THINKS A MICROSCOPIC HOT BURR FROM HAND SHARPENING CAN FLOAT THROUGH THE AIR AND BURN YOUR EYE) THAT SAYS THAT ANY POWERED SHARPENER CAN BE DETRIMENTAL TO AN EDGE.  HE NEEDS TO MAKE A  BETTER KNIFE IF HIS KNIVES WILL NOT HOLD UP TO PAPER WHEEL SHARPENING LIKE MINE DO

HERE IS A VIDEO  OF A TEST BLADE I MADE FROM A PIECE OF SCRAP I MAKE MY KNIVES FROM THAT WAS SHARPENED ON A BELT SANDER TO CONVEX THE EDGE. THEN THE BURR FORMED WHEN SHARPENING THE EDGE WAS REMOVED WITH THE SLOTTED PAPER BUFFING WHEEL. THE HAMMER IS A SOFT FACE BALL PEEN.  I SAY HE NEEDS TO MAKE A BETTER KNIFE.     https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Rp-YyOdsHxKBvFDFtZzEDtfIrjxY5DWT    

HERE IS A VIDEO MADE BY A FRIEND OF A KNIFE I MADE BACK IN 08. I CALL IT K II AN HE WAS THE 2ND PERSON ON THE LIST WHEN I  SENT IT OFF ON A PRIVATE PASSAROUND.

THE FIRST PERSON TO GET IT WAS AN S.E.R.E INSTRUCTOR FOR THE ARMY.  IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY HE ASKED IF I COULD MAKE MORE FOR FIGHTER PILOTS TO CARRY BUT THIS IS ONE OF A KIND KNIFE THAT I WILL NOT REPRODUCE.
