CFM tsunkasapa Posted July 29, 2022 CFM Report Posted July 29, 2022 It has been my experience that very little, other than ammo, is ready to use without some sort of tinkering. Quote Hoka Hey! Today, tomorrow, next week, what does it matter?
Contributing Member fredk Posted July 29, 2022 Contributing Member Report Posted July 29, 2022 Even ammo needs sorting out. One duty I got in the RAF once was to help sort out the ammo. 3-oh-3 et cetera bullets had to be put through a special gauge to make sure they were made accurately, About 60 -70% were, the rest was outside tolerances. Allegedly the bad ones were sent off to the Army, Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..
Members Klara Posted July 30, 2022 Members Report Posted July 30, 2022 I can confirm that Barry King awls are sharp when sold (the seller let me try one when I wondered about the price). Only problem is, they won't stay that way forever, and what then? So I bought cheapies and am trying to learn to sharpen them. Quote
Members battlemunky Posted July 30, 2022 Members Report Posted July 30, 2022 (edited) I strop my BK awl often and haven't even had to touch it up on the sharpener and its been a few years. Still buttery smooth. It'll make a hole in people leather pretty easily too. I've got a few other cheaper awls and that BK seems to get me more often than the others for some reason.
