jasonstone20 I hope you got over the cold by now?! I'd still like to have a copy of your data from the old forum - the Worm Oracle copy is a great start and helps a lot, but on the first few test calls, threads seem to be missing here and there. I think your copy of the data should be complete, so it would be really great if you occasionally found the time to make your copy of the fby KingShapton - Announcements
Worm Oracle Thank you so much for uploading the archive! I downloaded it successfully and called up a few pages as a test - occasionally a thread in tune up's seems to be missing here and there, but that's minimal. Maybe that's something Jason Stone's archive could help with. But anyway, I'm so happy about this archive, thank you again from the bottom of my heartby KingShapton - Announcements
jasonstone20 any news on the attempt to bring the old Cliff Stamp forum site back online? Some time has passed since the announcement, I'm almost afraid that it's not that easy after all?! And what about the possibility of a torrent download with the data from the old forum page? Unfortunately nothing seems to have happened yet... Any news is welcome, at the moment unfortunaby KingShapton - Announcements
Even if the thread is a bit older, here are my experiences with flattening arks or other stones made of novaculite. When we talk about flatening, I always start in the area #36 - #60 and because loose sic powder breaks down so easily into finer grits, I replace the powder every minute. When the stone is flat, I condition the surface with finer powder, with a hard ark I would try stopping at #2by KingShapton - General Sharpening
@jasonstone I'll watch your video too, I'm sure it's interesting too.by KingShapton - Sharpening Videos
That sounds really good and I really hope it works. I'm just not sure if it's really that easy - simply because the domain cliffstamp.com has expired and is for sale. But I don't know much about things like websites, domains, etc., so I hope my worries are unfounded!by KingShapton - Announcements
Quotejasonstone20 Kyley, But very little real world ways to use or enjoy them This is also an issue I am having, I have ton of knives, carry about five or more knives on me, but the only thing I use them for is cutting the tape when I open a package, a chore that can be done with a key or a ball point pen. I hope your health situation has improved since then?! Little real world use is aby KingShapton - General
If you could get the old Cliff Stamp forum page back online that would be really great! I keep my fingers crossed for this and also for the torrent download from the old forum!by KingShapton - Announcements
Hi Jason, I would also like to thank you for creating this forum! I've been reading the old Cliff Stamp for a long time, unfortunately the domain has expired and all the knowledge is no longer publicly available. I would also be very interested in a copy of the old forum and Cliff Stamp.com (in Linux format) - for my private use only. I'll send you a message right away.by KingShapton - General
Hello everyone, I'm a sharpening enthusiast from Germany and I've been fascinated by sharp knives all my life. I used to work with the Lansky system for a long time, after that came the Spyderco Sharpmaker for a long time and over the past few years I've been working more and more on my freehand sharpening. This year I made the transition to plateau sharpening and I'm hoby KingShapton - Welcome to the Forum!
@Wolfgang: Fantastic work, I think this will help some interested people to better understand plateau sharpening. Thank you for your work!by KingShapton - Sharpening Videos
