Whats the easiest way to sharpen Magnacut? My Deka has dulled down and I dont want to booger it up like I did my other knives. Im also horrible at sharpening, so I need something relatively foolproof. Thanks for any help!

A guided system using diamond stones is the most sure way.
I use a lansky system but I'm pretty sure I'm the only one in here that does. I have good results though. |

Knife got abused cutting targets today. I couldn't be happier with it, and it is slicey as hell with the thinner stock and the large hollow grind.
I got this huge pellet sampler kit way back when I got my gun but never went through them because my standard go to I lucked into (the JSB 15.9 grain) performs really well. Holy shit some of them spread out all over the targets (6" or better) at 25 yards, and the POI was pretty different even among the good ones for my gun. These are all 5 shots at 25 yards (except the one I gave up on that says 3). The Kodiac was the only usable one among the >20gr and was pretty tight. I'll have to shoot more groups to compare the Premier with my JSBs, but they were the winner today (5/16" for the only group I shot), which is sweet because the JSBs are $$$. I thought there would be some smaller differences like with a rifle, but they would all make groups an inch or less.       |

3/3. I had forgotten how long the last movie was, with the extended 4k version it was 4 hours 15 minutes screen time without credits.
Some big guy mixing jack and coke in his seat (with the soda refills) next to me was bawling at the end of the movie.  guy also brought in a hydro flask water bottle filled with some sort of crunchy pub mix. Crunch. Crunch. Crunch. Crunch.
