>>2446923I met a crazy axe moron on an outing recently.
Story time; The guy was chopping up all sorts of scrap wood for a big oil drum fire, doors, old planks full of nails, etc. He has a shirt on advertising his blacksmithing business and his axe looked simple but really nice so I went over and asked him about it.
>"oh yeah it's about 100 years old so I never let anyone else use it"I ask to see it, promise I won't use it as I can tell it is precious to him.
The edge is fucked ... like saw teeth from hitting nails in the doors and shit wood he was chopping.
I tell him it's blunt as fuck offer him my file to sharpen it.
>"nah files are too coarse and leave too many grooves in the edge, I'd have to grind it too much to get them out">is currently destroying the now non-existent edge on nails and rocks.>he then says "can i give you a tip mate?">me: yeah, what?>he pulls my shirt out of my trousers>"untuck your shirt you look like a fucking nazi">me: you must admit they had fabulous uniforms though.>"oh yeah, but I beat up loads of them back in [some bullshit futile protest/riot]"Colour me surprised. The crazy lefty "punch a nazi" guy who is supposedly a blacksmith is about as sharp as his fucked up axe.
