Dryer Moderator Registered: 12/05/02 Posts: 3591 Loc: Texas	Matt, if you truly care about Jim's (dullknife's) safety, I recommend you pull your new knife's edge, 90 degs across a bench grinder. That way its edge will match the spine of the knife. Use a vice to break off 1/2" of the point. Bring some rounded, plastic scissors too, in case you run across some construction paper on your hike. Safety first! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> _________________________ paul, texas KD5IVP
