Use the separate blades and close method to debut

If you watch the Tormek video on scissors they recommend that you draw the edge across the end grain of a small piece of wood to deburr. I think that the "close" method may tear the edge whereas wood may be less aggressive and leave a better edge.

I sharpen the scissors at Tormek's recommended angle, then draw the edge over the end grain and get very good results.

I purchased my T7 and accessories from Advanced Machinery, nice people. www.advmachinery.com

Ken, take a look at the Silky Nata for batoning small wood and also as hatchet/machette.

Ken, your comments and insights are very much appreciated.

If it is just knife sharpening that one desires/requires then isn't the T-1 a better/less expensive option?

"If you would like to add pricing to the discussion on the new Multi Base here they are:

US MAP: $105
Jingle bells, jingle bells,..

I have been looking at purchasing 2 MB-100's to get FVB, but now 1 MB-102 will do it. I feel a Christmas present is in my future.

Yes, a T8 with a 50 year decal.

Someone better tell Martha Stewart that that Tormek T8 that she is sharpening her sword on needs water.

There seems to be a niche trend lately of folder makers making RIDICULOUSLY thick knives.  Here's one that's just about 10mm.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmFbvYxOGuU

That's not a knife it's a joke.

I like the idea of using 2 MB-100's as demonstrated on the Recurve video #17 .

Nicely done.

How about using a Allen headed bolt, instead of grinding the hex head smooth?

Wouldn't the axe jig work?

Rich, any chance of offering it with stainless steel legs?
