Unsharpened knives

submitted by Battlefat to TheGunClub 11 monthsMay 14, 2023 13:28:09 ago (+27/-0)     (TheGunClub)

A knife is not a gun, but it is a tool all the same.
I have knives, and many of them are razor sharp, but not all.

A busted tire, a felled tree, a crying child, each of these a priority in no particular order as is often the case.

So the unsharpened knives go on, dull and unused.

I had opportunity today to address the chip in a particular blade and it is now usable, perfection being the enemy of the good.

In the back of garage drawers and rusty toolboxes lies a blade or two of your own.

My suggestion is that you pay attention to the tools you have, and whether or not they are of any use to you in their current state.

Fix something, my goats, whether it be yourself, a long neglected heirloom, or the thing that may one day save you from necessity, that Mother of All Inventions.

A knife is a simple thing indeed

A busted tire, a felled tree, a crying child

Things that can be fixed by a knife.

I thought the same thing. ...a nagging wife, irritating in-laws, a rude checkout clerk...

Bastard file (between fine and coarse) is the way to go - using a machine or grinding wheel could cause the temperature of the blade to rise too quickly, destroying the temper.

Did you write this post just to remind me to sharpen my knives?

This inspired me to polish my anal beads

My knives are all sharp. But the list of shit on the needs to be fixed list is long.

You bastards, Battlefat rolls over like the cute puppy he is and shows you his soft underbelly to rub and in typical Voat fashion you give him a purple nurple and blow strawberries.

I liked it Battlefat, it was nice.

You guys don’t sharpen the knife before you use it? NGMI

Is this metaphorical? Put one's tool to use?

Find a good woman and sharpen the tool?

just sharpened my daily today. tested it on paper held in the air first then the side of the hand behind my left thumb. Poured some vodka on the slice.

A knife that you're beating about with shouldn't be too sharp though because it makes it more brittle.
