    BEST knife sharpener I've ever used

    I recently bought a Wicked Edge knife sharpener Wicked Edge Pro Pack I Knife Sharpening Kit It was downright expensive I won't lie about that but I finally justified it by realizing that it did not make any sense to be willing to spend between $100-$350 on a quality knife only to have it...

    Removing Expander Ball

    I have a Redding FL sizing die and have been through two stems already that I had to get rid of because they would not stay centered in the die body and resulted in excess neck runout.
