bartlebyyphonics 3,955 Posted May 2 (edited) nice... first step: this stone [can be found in many different places, a good learning stone] used with an easy to sharpen blade shape: something like a nakiri (preferably carbon steel as is easier to sharpen); and japanese traditional single bevel knives take longer but are the simplest in terms of technique... but the most specialist in terms of useage also: blenheim forge do look real nice: but I do wonder how they stack up to some of the trad japanese blacksmiths (best of what shown above: takeo murata's buho line [very affordable] & teruyasu fujiwara are recommends... (not above, but some wants) takeda hamono is similar price to blenheim but has serious rep, also masamoto, konosuke, masakage very reputable; & shigefusa as grail unicorn...) - never directly compared tho...

volvo240thebest 16,957 Posted May 6 haven't worn the contest jeans in a while but I hope to be back soon. I lost much weight and with the cinch completely tightened the jeans feel a bit weird, and apart from that the drain cleaner stains are horrible. Looks like I have stains of ambiguous provenance on my legs... Anyway I plan to mend a patch soon and come back to action soon. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MileHighEvertonian 1,360 Posted May 6 No, no, no, Volvo. Don't use a patch to hide the drain cleaner stain...hide the stain in plain sight with a DIY denim bleaching project! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(or size down as is generally more generous, or even size up and use cinch back more strenuously with a baggy back side and volume all over...) thanks cheer. got my 20s already, nice and comfort. i have another question: how to embed instagram page into the post?
