A REALLY sharp knife...

[TresMon]

Being a life long outdoorsman, very mechanically inclined & a tool/die machinist- I've had knife sharpening down for quite a while. but I heard of a new challenge.

It's one thing to lay a knife on the skin and ease it down and watch the hair cut. However... can it "air shave." That is rake your hand back and forth over the hairy section and fluff up the hair. Then ease the edge of the knife through the hair, WITHOUT touching the skin and see if the knife cuts them, or you can at least feel the knife grabbing at the hairs. REALLY COOL.

A well tuned Mora will!

This should be in the Sports & Entertainment section.

So naughty.

I can see it now. Just before the test......."Hey! Hold my beer."

Umm...errr....

We knife geeks call it "tree-topping" hair. A kitchen knife should be able to do it FOTS, especially after a strop on balsa wood or kangaroo leather.

Do you slash it really fast like a samurai across the hairs

[TresMon]

yes, YOU do. But it's special privilege for you alone.

I have to say that I have never tried that, and most likely won't...... I really think y'all just brought up this to see how many go ahead and try it...LOL

Use the force Tresmon.

I have seen this actually done exactly ONE time. I had to change my pants after.

[TresMon]

I have done it now three times. It's crazy satisfying...

A très slow in the TresMon homestead?
Must be between engagements.

Never heard of it, never seen it, probably won't ever try.

Hehe, so it's like, well, a thrill seeker thing to do then eh. lb

[ElevenBravo]

Im a little on the slow side... Ive got some Early Timex right now and *I* find it really satisfying! As long as my new Mora will shave a feather stick, I figure Im in like Flynn!
