WOUNDED WARRIOR KNIFEMAKING SCHOOL

PAYING IT FORWARD

A POLICE OFFICERE WITH AN ATTITUDE DOES NOT NEED TO HAVE A JOB WHERE HE IS INVOLVED WITH THE PUBLIC.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/365976468532730 NOBODY SHOULD BE AFRAID OF "JUST PASSING THROUGH" A TOWN OR CALLING FOR ASSISTANCE ONLY TO HAVE AN OFFICER WITH AN ATTITUDE SHOW UP THAT ONLY MAKES MATTERS WORSE AND ALMOST LEAVES WITHOUT DOING A DAMN THING.

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 is also a member of bladeforums) (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.
