I know I'm strange but...now everyone I work with does too. :) noticed my EDC knife wasn't hair popping sharp. y'know what 'they' say?...a dull knife is a dangerous knife. so sitting at my desk on a tech support call, I flipped over my ceramic coffee mug gave it a few strokes each side, stropped it on my belt....viola! hair poppin. :)

To be honest all of us who hang out in trees for hours on end are a bit different than the normal USA citizen,.. I mean today I was wearing my tick resistant clothing after a hike with HunterMA ,.. full camo ,.. walked into a store and folks sorta got outta my way,..
I felt like saying really it is just camo,.. I am not a monster,.. Still they backed away LMAO
Whatever,.. left me a clear path the register! :)

Yep. I have a habit of walking in shorts. I see a good spot to scout and in I go. My Lower legs look like I keep pet lions. Today I had shorts and a tank top. Lost some blood, found some good trees ... Decided to jog home.

BB, Dude, your like 6' 10" tall and having personally shaken the hand of Magnus Magnusen - who is literally 2.5x wider than I am at the shoulders with hands the size of baseball gloves - I can safely say those folks were not stepping out of the way due to your camo :)

Hick, Thanks for the tip. I just touched up my MORA using my favorite ceramic coffeee mug. Best edge I ever put on a knife. Off to the thrift store next week to pick up a mug that I can bust the bottom out of and dedicate as a sharpener ! Off to the garage to test it on my broadheads. Tekoa
