I just got this Civivi Baby Bantam and I love it. Has a small tweezer and toothpick in it. Both appear to be stainless steel.

Cool looking lockback. Where’d you find it, Andy?

My latest is this Browning fixed blade. I don't know how good it is; I know some Browning offerings are Chinese but this one isn't marked as such. But I liked it, so...also this device which I use now and then for a quick tune up between sharpening sessions.

This thread brought a smike to my face. It reminded me of a friend who passed some fifteen or so years ago. Some time after he passed, his wife asked myself and two other of his friends to help her catolog his firearms (no Parkers), took several hours to complete the list a very eclectic collection. Much like the individual of did the collecting. It was a three day event to auction his toys. First day, the firearms, second day, his knife collection and the last day a collage of items.

His knife collection was primarily folders as I recall. I can't hazard a quess at the number of knives, but I do recall the sale started at 8am and lasted past the dinner hour. There were some serious buyers paying some serious dollars that day. I know there were several pages in the sale catolog listing the knives.

Myself, not much of a knife person. Every day carry is either a Craftsman #95231 or a Camillus "Yello-Jaket". My belt knife is a Bowen #3495 all of which are easy to keep shaven sharp with just an Arkansas stone.

Similar to Stan’s experiences, I have never perfected knife sharpening.
Stan after reading about your positive results using a Chef Choice 120 I decided to see what I could find.
I found one like new on EBay for $25 and am delighted with the results.
It was delivered last week and I sharpened every knife in the house.
I could not have possibly sharpened a knife any better than what this Sharpener produced.
Thanks Stan for the tip.

So glad to hear that, Phil. And when used properly will never scratch or damage the blade of a very expensive knife.

Hoo yah for snagging one at such a great price! Well done.
