I bought this product thing (seen in the video) because it was the cheapest and I do what Mr. Ronald Newberry does (with a little more rigor) and I can't seem to get rid of the burr on my edge. It's a $8 chinese folding knife so I don't actually care but wtf. It still cuts but the the edge of the blade is clearly wonky (which shows when the light is at the right angle) and I can't seem to fix it. I looked at internet tutorials and they don't help  | ||

Too much angle and the edge can get "wavey" so be gentle and don't press. Just let it go along. There is no rush. You can take one side at the time if you find it difficult to keep the angle on the down side. And your blade is probably of shit quality so fuck it. Yeah I'm trying to figure out how to do it with a crap knife before doing it with a more expensive knife from Cold Steel.

Not a fan of the blade though. I would recommend just a plain standard knife for everyday usage. But it's heavy so it's good for chopping twigs and stabbing cans (don't stab cans). | ||

Good quality but without a silly price tag. Took a look at the Cold Steel page and holy crap they have got a lot of different ones. I just think of this one when I hear the name. That's the twig chopper that I prefer not to use. | ||

I think I would die if I blew $160 for a knife . That said I prefer folding knives, I mostly need it to carry in a bag with my paintball equipment and use it to cut some pretty tough stuff at times. | ||

Does it feel awkward to understand both the language and the subs at the same time? They are just simply not funny... like not at all. But I always guessed that they arent funny, even when you dont understand german. Maybe the first one was funny, but I cant imagine them being funny after done so effortless and so many times. Similiar to "Dimitri reacts to...", while that guy at least dances funny ;-). | ||

Palmers hitler video about a TL mafia game was amazing. I haven't laughed so badly in years. But with most funny stuff you have to have to kind of relation to it or it just won't be funny. If you don't play mafia you won't understand it and so on. The most awkward thing really is people speaking german in non german films or movies. Chances are that if you're an anime fan, you might have heard of attack on titan, despite it being incredibly mediocre it's super famous. The setting is all some kind of medieval stuff and they all have somewhat germanic names. There's a blond boy who's called Armin... Anyways point being: Some of the songs are in german. The music is good but it is sooooo cringeworthy. I had to look it up to understand what this girl was singing and once I realized it's german it just completly ruined the music for me because it sounds so bad... Sometimes it's funny but if it's not supposed to be funny it really ruins the setting a little.. + Show Spoiler [that one] + | ||

I have to admit, I did laugh at some of the videos, especially the one made about the TL mods in the early days of StarCraft II. But having seen Downfall way before I even knew about this meme, it felt kind of weird seeing one of the grimmest movies produce something for comedy. | ||

I use a DC4 from fallkniven and it does wonder, no need for water or anything. You'll have to learn to use it, but any proper blade can be made razorsharp with this. My missing arm hairs can testify. Also, bad blades simply cannot be sharpened, the steel is usually too soft for that, which can lead to the results you described if I understood that properly. Also, if you want cheap high quality knives,these are very good, although not made for heavy duty work (handles tend to break). | ||

Anyway the cheap knife I use is a "Sanrenmu 710" using 8CrMov1 steel. The edge is wavy. Oh well, no big deal it can still open Amazon boxes. | ||
