    yeah, I did a complete 180 on this purchase. had been looking for something slicker, more subtle. but something about the camo and black blade looked more bad@ss and that ended up being what I wanted.

    I still love my Delica...but this PM2 is in my pocket more often. still early...but also it's just so much fun to flick.

    yeah, when I first started looking, I thought the knives looked gimmick-y. but i got the Delica, because it was a "quality" knife for not that much $. found out i love the spidey-hole.

    btw, what's your Sugihara bar? I have a 550xp (you have the 562 looks like) and want to get one.

    I used to use a hawkbill a lot during the winter to cut strings off hay bales. I do prefer a locking blade after closing one on my fingers.

    I had CRKT that occasionally didn't lock open. That's bad! I quit carrying it for a while and bought a Kershaw that I really liked...i lost it last week and now I'm back to carrying the CRKT...:headbang:
    The pocket clips snag on my shirt tale and pull them up out of my pocket :hair:

    Anyone ever use the KO Work Sharp to sharpen machetes, axes, hatchets?

    Not yet, but it does a good job on knives. I will assume it will work good on those

    Sir yes sir. It works really great on lawn mower blades and shovels too. Take the guide off and swivel the head.
    Check out this vid with the blade grinding attachment. There is a ton of good vids in his channel. Give it a look.

    I know you can use it for other things , I just wondered if anyone has .
    It should make sharping the machetes much quicker , knifes to , quicker than the Lansky .
    I just ordered one , I didn't get the blade grinding attachment, just the tool and extra belts.
    I like my WS-3000 , I use it for chisels and plane blades

    That swiveling head makes it very handy for a bunch of uses. I have an abrasives place close to me and they happened to have belts the same size. Not a huge variety of grit but quite a bit cheaper than the WS branded ones. They aren't near as smooth though. So I use them for the other stuff, like the mower blades/shovels etc, Products - Belts - Supergrit
    I don't have the attachment either. Very cool that you can convert it though. That's an awesome way to start making custom blades, which I hope to do some day. We have a couple of those laying around the shop.

    That's cool I would probably never think of using that disc Steel.
    That place has up to 800 Grit
    Yeah those belts are about half the price of Amazon , ..
    I got 15 extra belts medium, fine and a combo pack

    Ya man! The Work Sharp is great, gets the knifes good n sharp, fast :dex:
    Got my Leatherman and some other knives shaving Sharp, I will get the Nick out of my x 25, sharpen the x 7 and x 11.
    it will do a good job on my woodsman's pal, getting it shaped and sharp the way I want it

    One and it's been a while. like ordering anything else except they will not ship it if your state says it's illegal.

    knife Center has a statement you have to agree to ( it pops up when you put it in the cart) saying you are military or whatever
