An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

I was super stressed about it (still is, thanks for all the help and good words in the knives instances) I guess I will see if I did good on my next camping trip.

Will be my first time trying it in camping situation. 🤟

Mine have been real workhorses for a few years now - my only wisdom to impart is that the steel holds an edge beautifully, but keep it dry because it'll develop surface rust surprisingly fast, and that the scales tend to get dried out and really benefit from being pulled off and given a nice soak in wood conditioner (howard feed-n-wax is my favorite, for entirely childhood imprinting reasons) + a buff with some high grit sandpaper once you put them back on. Really lovely knives.

Did you actually, or did you make it...dull, man?

Good one

Tap for spoilerSeems to be sharp from my test on paper, not extra sharp like my other one but the blade thinner.

I was taught to test the edge by trying to slice a piece of paper, if it resists it is hard to cut you need to keep going. Although my experience is it’s fine as long as you do a halfway decent job of maintaining the sharpening angle and not wobbling all over the place. Don’t stress it, you can always sharpen it more!

That’s pretty much what I did. Test it on a sheet of paper. The resistance seems equal to my Mora so I think I did good. Don’t seems to cut to much hair of the back of hand though
