Ping pong balls for the win. Once you've wrestled everything else in life is easy. Dan Gable I keep my circle small, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.
Ain’t easy havin pals.

Rick’s work truly stands out from the crowd.
Every day on this side of the ground is a win.

Gene270 you could cut yourself with that taper as well as the edge. They get a little brown and you can move it from side to side!

Rick’s work truly stands out from the crowd. Couldn’t agree more. For us neighbours to the north of you folks, we have to pay a real premium, 35% more once the exchange and PayPal fees are factored in. We pay a sht load more taxes than all you folks in our Socialist Wonderland to begin with. Makes these knives bloody expensive. Guess what? My new Crotts lasted in my home for a month before I sold it, to place an order with Rick. I’ve fallen deep down this rabbit hole, and while there are many wonderful makers, to these 55 year old eyeballs, the level of finish on Rick’s fixed blades simply sets him apart. If there is someone better, I’d love to know.

No doubt Rick is at the top of the heap.
One of the most important things to remember ----- "High rpm and sharp belts is the trick."
More mistakes made due to trying to stretch out some belt life. Just my 2 cents.
"The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them." Albert Einstein
At Khe Sanh a sign read "For those who fight for it, life has a flavor the protected never knew".
