    Good Videos to watch when you're Vaked!!

    All my friends say this makes them feel like they're floating (very pleasing and relaxing). Even my dogs (hyperactive chihuahuas) pass out in minutes.

    Any knife nuts here at FC?

    One of my sharpest folders was $5 and has a spiderman scale if that says anything... Blade says china 440 but I swear this thing cuts through phonebooks like butter. I buy cheap knives to practice on the stones, I guess I ger very good edges ecause there is no anxiety of ruining a $5 knife

    Cool music to vape to, you know the tunes that move you

    Not really music but does make you feel 'floaty' after a good session.

    Technically all modern Damascus is fake, but stay away from very cheap steel.

    Vaping with Pets

    I have 2 dogs and one clearly does not like it (he smells it and moves away), as my other dog (she sits your lap licking your face almost asking for a hit). I hate when I see people blowing smoke into a pets face when there is no option for the animal to back away. That's abuse.

    Bump this thread if you're VAPED now!

    Not sure if I'm using my thermovape properly, but I let it warm up for 30 seconds and begin vaping because nothing is happening at the 10-20 second mark. But after about a minute of holding, thermovape really starts working up a storm. I'm good now

    The Mysterious Soap Nut

    Interesting! I always disliked the harshness of shower soap, maybe a blend would work.

    The Mysterious Soap Nut

    But couldn't you blend soap nuts with detergent so that you're using less detergent but still using nuts?

    vaporizer beer!!!

    Is this legit? I can't find information on beer you can vaporize to get a mild buzz.

    Need a break from the old routine.

    I love your avatar! Not sure what it is, my GF watches these YouTube videos for meditating and usually has that symbol on the videos. The guitar sound OM is very relaxing. Anyways, I suffer from anxiety and I found breathing deep and slow helps most panic attacks for me.

    Oh yeah the heel is hard to sharpen with folders. My scale often hits the stone too. Also the thumbstuds makes it difficult to profile wide bevel.

    There's no hamon on that knife as it's pure steel. My lesser grade Yanagi has the hamon line as it's clad (harder steel core and softer steel layer). Anyways, I read fake hamon only occur on china made 'japanese' knives. But I'm not 100% sure on that, I'm not very knowledgable on the subject.

    Oh I can only imagine trying to put a sub $1000 knife on a wet stone.... I was nervous putting the cheaper $200 one on the stones haha

    Originally got the lansky for my kukri, but it's a terrible stone to use. I may leave the heel alone, as he says he only uses the tip for skinning. I just think it'll look weird because heel bevel will be concave and tip bevel will be ground flat...

    Tip and belly isn't the issue, the issue is thg the heel of the knife sinks in (reverse belly?). This part can't even touch the stone... I have a lansky but it's like 200 grit...
