Worksharp Knife and Tool Sharpener Review

April 2, 2012April 2, 2012 James Burnette 3 Comments

After a week or so of testing I’m going to review my work Sharp tool and knife Sharpener (WSKTS).

When you get a Work sharp it comes with the WSKTS,instruction manual, DVD, guides and two sets of abrasive belts. It comes with a guide for kitchen knives and one that does most other knives, scissors and the back of a serrated knife. There is no guide for sharpening a scandi grind blade however. Scandi’s are the easiest to sharpen though. And I’ll be experimenting on sharpening a mora on the WSKTS without a guide to see if it can be done.

Gerber EAB pocket knife

March 29, 2012March 29, 2012 James Burnette 3 Comments

Today I’m going to do a review of the Gerber EAB pocket knife. It’s constructed of stainless steel. Weighs in at 2.2 oz and uses regular contractor blades. The closed length is 2.4 in and open is 4.1. The EAB is liner lock knife.

I picked up the EAB about a year ago when it was on clearance out at a local Walmart. I had heard good reviews on it and at the $10 bucks I spent on it I figured I could not go wrong. Basically it is a very tiny utility knife. By far the smallest and lightest I have seen. I was not disappointed by this purchase at all.

Level 1 First Aid Kit

Today I’m going to go over the contents of my Level 1 First Aid kit and why I carry what i do. the philosophy behind this kit is one based on being small and light weight and covering most day-to-day needs. This kit is not meant to be a blow out kit nor to be able to handle traumatic injuries. What is does cover are some of the things that I have had happen most often with a little extras for emergencies.

Up for to is a review of my Kershaw Skyline. The knife features Sandvik 14C28N steel with a bead-blasted finish. The blade length comes in at 3 1/8 in. The weight is 2.3 oz so it’s nice and light. The handle scales are a textured black G10. It features a liner lock , thumb stud, flipper and pocket clip. Which I will discuss in depth. And the icing on the cake is that is Made in the US.
