OH yes, Pcpc201, I got you on the bodily payback for youthful recklessness. It's like the old saying, "If I knew I was going to live this long, I'd have taken better care of myself."

Are you doing stock removal by hand with files, sand paper, stones, or with either an electric grinder or sander? In Mexico I've seen lots of guys who have converted old bicycles into grinders. They just sit on the seat, and pedal to turn the stone wheel. They are making money sharpening knives. Pretty cool.

So what kind of tools or equipment do you have? Also what kind of knives do you make? Anything we can be an assistance in? Back in the day, many of the regulars were of the do more with less mentality. Also on the Knife Philosophy post, Texas Jack recommended Wayne Goddard's "$50.00 Knife Shop." The revised edition is available on Amazon for about $25.00. It's certainly worth checking out.

Give us a shoutout if we can be of help.
