try tilting the whetstone so it is at the angle you want to sharpen at (for example, you know those V rod pre-set angle sharpeners? tilt the whetstone that hold your knife vertical and use it like that.

...you'll probably need to buy a bench vise though

you can get good results with just about any kind of sharpening device. Just pay attention to what you are doing. try to keep the angle the same, using water or oil depending on what kind of stone you are using is very helpful. youtube has lots of very educational videos on the subject, that way you can see the motions. hope that helps

There is one absolute answer to keeping a weapon from accidently discharge: No round in the chamber.
Every make of pistol has a different safety. Majority of 1911's have no physical block to keep the hammer from striking the pin. There are safeties, but if the hammer falls that is it.
S&W revolvers typically have a plate that covers the striking pin from the hammer that only moves when the trigger is pulled.
Glocks and Sigs have a similar safety that keeps the firing pin from striking unless the trigger is pulled.

Being a safety nazi and a Glock carrier, I never have a round in the chamber unless I'm about to pull the trigger seconds after I pull the slide. I'm just not willing to chance an accidental or negligent discharge for the fraction of a second it takes to chamber a round in a semi-auto. I you Practice your drills, not having a round chambered 24/7 isn't an issue.

many consider the glock and other striker fired pistols to be the "safest" sort of pistol, due to them being striker fired

PLAY WITH KNIVES YUGIOH STYLE BRAH.
Or if you're poor/pussy you could just throw them at dartboards.

Rocks, sticks, ashtrays, bottles, chairs, glasses are all better than this stuff. And readily available.

Just say bruise nitwit.

Flashlight, tire iron, chain with padlock, baseball bat.

Fucking Yanks, talking like you're actually going to be shooting at people. Start with a .22.

Fucking lobsterbacks talking like you're actually going to be doing this to people who threaten you. Start with defending yourself.

Of their line, I'd say the clear choice for this knife would be this:

http://www.specopsbrand.com/tactical-gear/sheaths/combat-master-knife-sheath-long.html

I haven't bought anything for it yet(just spent $70 on the knife itself, I'll probably wait until Christmas or so to get a new sheath for it) so I guess I'm still looking around.

This "Master" sheath looks like it would absolutely retain the knife, the maximum measurements are pretty much identical with the blade itself, but the retention strap is bugging me: the horizontal design just doesn't sit right with me. I like the 45 degree snap down, rather than what looks like a horizontal Velcro strap. It's nitpicky, but if I'm going to spend at least $50 on a sheath, I want it my way.

Thanks for following up though, I'm open to more suggestions.

Have you considered having one custom made? I don't think it would be too pricey Considering the materials.

>>14354

I had not considered it at all, actually (odd, since I do several kinds of metalworking as a hobby), but I have no clue who I'd talk to about it. In all honesty, I think rather than having one custom made I'll just do what I should have done from the start and just cut off the strap and resew it on facing the other way, lol. Should be WAY easy.

Are you joking? I've never fired an M16, but I have fired a .223 hunting rifle (same ammo I think?) and they hardly have any kick at all. I know it's a retarded way to fire a weapon, but it's not going to even bruise his finger, let alone anything else. My dad used to fire our 12 gauge shotgun one handed for laughs and shoots roo with a rifle in one hand and spot light in the other all the time.

>>14342
.223 is different from 5.56 NATO. 5.56 is loaded to a higher pressure than .223, but recoil difference is negligible.

5.56 and 2.23 are supposed to have little recoil, so I doubt much would happen to the guy in the pic. I've only shot 7.62 and .22 so I don't know for sure about the 5.56 recoil.

And on a side note, so you don't end up with a malfunctioning gun: You can load .223 into a 5.56 firearm, but not the other way around.

concealed carry: autoloader just for the extra rounds

home defense: preferably a shotgun, but i guess a .357 revolver

range shooting: both

Love me a revolver. I grew up shooting my dads Colt 1911, then when I was old enough I went out and got a Ruger .357. I love the gun.

Personally, I'm split. I like large caliber guns (see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tku8YI68-JA ), and prefer a revolver in at least .38 Special for carry, but will take any gun that feels good.

Concealed carry: Have to give it to a snub nose .357 or .38 simply because of the compact size, easy carry and superior reliability.

Home Defence: I'm a huge fan of the 1911 style pistols, and the .45ACP is a great round for short ranges, ie the home. This is where I would want it.

Range shooting: As much as I love shooting revolvers as well, I recently fell in love with the 557. Accuracy beyond belief at range, low recoil, pretty good stuff there.

Leave it to Zed to ruin not one weapons boards, but many.

Do you really buy into that "Anonimuss is leejun" bullshit that those 14 year olds spout?

I mean, really?

I am sad to see that the eternal thirst for attention that zed has is causing him to post here.
