A Guide to Keeping Your Blade in Top

Introduction:

A handmade knife is a beautiful and functional work of art that can last for generations when properly cared for. In this guide, we will explore the techniques and tools needed to sharpen and maintain your handmade knife, ensuring that it stays sharp and performs at it

Understanding Sharpening Angles:

A knife's edge is made up of two angles: the primary angle and the secondary angle.The primary angle is the angle at which the blade is sharpened, and it is usually between 10-20 degrees for a kitchen knife and 20-30 degrees for a outdoor knife.The secondary angle, also known as the microbevel, is a small angle added to the primary angle to improve cutting performance.Understanding and maintaining these angles is crucial for keeping your knife sharp.

Sharpening Techniques:

There are several sharpening techniques that can be used to maintain the angles on your knife's edge, including:Whetstone sharpening: Using a whetstone to sharpen your knife by hand.Electric sharpening: Using an electric knife sharpener to maintain the angles on your knife's edge.Honing: Using a honing rod to realign the edge of your knife.Each technique has its own advantages and disadvantages, and the best one for you will depend on your skill level and the type of knife

3 ; Maintenance and CareKeeping :

your knife clean and dry is essential for maintaining its edge.Avoid putting your knife in the dishwasher or leaving it wet for extended periods of time.Store your knife properly, either by using a knife block or a sheath.Regularly inspect your knife for any signs of damage or wear, and have it professionally sharpened or repaired if necessary.

Conclusion:

Properly caring for your handmade knife will not only ensure its longevity but also make it more enjoyable to use. By understanding the angles of your knife's edge, using the right sharpening techniques, and taking good care of it, your knife will always be ready to perform at its best. Remember, a sharp knife is a safe knife and a well-maintained knife will last a lifetime.

Tw: deer hunting, animal death

You’re only ever keenly aware of your actual age when it suddenly becomes the for fronted center of attention. When arbitrary actions become a strenuous task, like carrying a deer back to camp. Rick or any of the others would’ve had no problem carrying this deer back to camp, but you find yourself limited in capabilities as a result of your small size. Was it malnutrition? Probably, even before the fallout everyone would’ve described you as frail.

But where were they now? Your curiosity replaced itself with pity - watching the last bit of life drain from the deers eyes. Starlight carried away into some distant land - away from the silence. You’d gotten lucky. Lucky Daryl Dixon hadn’t put an arrow between your eyes, lucky they took pity on kids. Part of you wondered if they’d still pity you if they knew what you were capable of.

Your grandfather had taught you the basics before finding yourself in that poor excuse of a community center - taught you the feeling of being at home with your finger on the trigger like a master of your own destiny. A clean kill thankfully-

“Try not to have it bleeding out next time,” Rumbled Daryls voice from behind you that made you keenly aware of the poor aim you’d had. A neck shot, not ideal, but better than losing the catch.

“At least I took the shot,” You challenge, eyes narrowed as you study the face of a man who never really liked children to begin with, but tolerated you none the less. There was a mutual respect of staying the fuck out of each others way. Eventually he grows tired of the unprecedented staring contest, and grabs the deer, slinging it over his shoulder without a second thought.

A/N: hey everyone! Kind of new to the writing scene on tumblr :3 but I’ve been an active writer myself since I was about 11 years old. I’ve decided to use my blog as a bit of an outlet and maybe get feedback. All constructive criticism is appreciated especially when it comes to grammar! (I’m so bad) hate comments or just general negativity will be ignored/deleted. Thank you :3

Trophy Hunters of Tomorrow

Tyler Poole of Hankamer, Texas, has been deer hunting several years and has seven whitetails and one mule deer to his credit. The 12-year-old seventh grader at Abeka Christian Academy got the chance to go after mule deer in the Texas Panhandle when his dad, Jared, applied for a Big Time Texas Hunt with Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. Each year, TPWD makes a lot of good hunts available on Wildlife Management Areas (WMA) and other places in Texas, and lucky hunters often come home with trophies of a lifetime.

Jared was accepted for the mule deer hunt on the Yoakum Dunes WMA in Cochran County, with Tyler as a guest hunter. The hunters gathered their guns and gear and traveled to Cochran County, where they met their guides at the WMA headquarters near the small town of Whiteface. Tyler carried his Ruger 6.5 Creedmoor and a pocket full of shells.

At dinner on the day of their arrival, Tyler and his guide planned a hunt on the vast 14,037-acre WMA. The vast West Texas area is home to a good population of mule deer, and the hunters would cruise the backroads looking for a good buck. Long stalks to get in position for a good shot are not uncommon, and Tyler found out how difficult it is to get in rifle range of a mule deer in the sand dunes of Cochran County.

On the first day, Tyler and his guide got close to a buck or two, but had no luck in the stalk. The next day, they went back after a good buck that they had seen the day before. The deer was unusual, because the G-2s did not fork, but the antler tines were long and Tyler wanted to test his 6.5 Creedmoor on the buck.

In the afternoon, the hunters spotted the buck they were after, and Tyler decided to try for a stalk that would give him a decent shot. After walking and then crawling through the shin oak brush for hours, Tyler finally got a good shot with his Ruger 6.5 Creedmoor at 170 yards. The buck went down, and Tyler had his first mule deer.

Jared had also taken a wide mulie buck, and both father and son returned to Hankamer, just east of Houston, with big smiles. The Big Time Texas Hunt for mule deer had paid off!

Tyler and his dad decided to enter their bucks in the 2023 Hunters Extravaganza Annual Deer Competition in Houston. Both buck were outstanding, but Jared beat Tyler for Best Texas Mule Deer by a few inches. Tyler plans to take a whitetail during the 2023-24 season, and it might be a hunt with his new bow. Jared is a bowhunter, and Tyler plans to take up the sport.

“The Panhandle hunt was special for me and Dad,” Tyler said. “We both enjoyed the sandhill scenery, and the guides were great on the Yoakum Dunes WMA.” The Houston deer contest was the first for Tyler—but probably not the last.

Tyler says he likes to hunt and fish, and has done a lot of both. He also likes Little League baseball. As for deer hunting, he likes it all—but prefers evening hunts. Texas Trophy Hunters Association wants to congratulate Tyler for his first mule deer buck, and hope it’s not his last. —Horace Gore

The Top 7 Reasons Why Hunting Is Necessary

Hunting, often a controversial topic, is vital to our ecosystem for several reasons. Firstly, it helps regulate animal populations, preventing overpopulation and subsequent ecosystem imbalances. Additionally, hunting contributes to wildlife conservation efforts by funding research, habitat preservation and management programs. Moreover, hunting promotes a deeper connection with nature, instilling a sense of responsibility and respect for wildlife. It also fosters self-reliance as hunters learn essential survival skills and gain a sense of accomplishment. Lastly, hunting is crucial in controlling invasive species, protecting native flora and fauna. While contentious, these seven reasons demonstrate the necessity of hunting for the overall well-being of our environment and society. Those who may not engage in real-life hunting can experience the thrill and excitement through real-time fishing and hunting games, offering an immersive virtual experience while promoting an appreciation for nature and wildlife conservation.

On the plane, are vegetarians pampered… or mistreated?

DECRYPTION – To retain passengers with different diets, airlines offer meals labeled vegetarian or vegan. On this world day, this November 1st, an overview of the existing offers. Out of sensitivity to the animal cause, for health reasons or out of ecological conviction, more and more French people are deciding to do without meat. But what exactly are we talking about?

Cnance Encounter Triggers Memories of Life in Natuashish, Labrador, Canada

October 17, 2022 I walked into Costco wondering how long it would take to find “natural vanilla extract”. Kathy told me it costs upwards of $40 and is located with the spices. I searched all around the spices unsuccessfully and looked for someone working there to help me. I noticed a woman loading a flatbed trolley with boxes of goods and thought she may be a worker, but she proved to be a buyer…
