204 video : your favourite scene?

[sam the man..]

OK fellow spydernuts,



Which is your favourite scene from the sharpmaker 204 video?



I find the scene from the serrated edged knives sharpening session most enlightening! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>



BTW - The ads at the end of the video were AWESOME too!

I dont know about enlightening, but I like the scene that is flashed by in the beginning sequence where Sal cuts a round hole in a piece of paper that he's holding up by the corner. That is so impressive. I cant seem to get my knives sharp enough, or paper of the right stifness and thinness to be able to do that. (any secrets to that trick?)

Dude - I don't mean to be a smart ass, but did you follow the steps? *har-har!* <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Well, that scene is only about 5 seconds (if that) in length, and there are no steps given. I did follow the sharpening steps nad I got my knife super sharp. I think part of the trick is to hold the paper bent slightly so that the bend gives it enough rigidity that you can cut the circular hole. I can cut straight lines (of course) but I cant make the curve part of hte circle without the paper folding over.

Hi Mundele. Yes, there are a few &quot;tricks&quot; besides having a very sharp knife. Have to show you in person, what to practice. Perhaps we'll meet at a show?

Hey! Now I have a great reason to go to a show... so you can show me that trick.

Is there a list of shows somewhere on the web?

Good idea- is there a list of the shows that you go to Sal? That way more of us &quot;spydernuts&quot; can show up and pester you with our new ideas. Ok we'll just show up and look at all the cool stuff you bring with you.

[sam the man..]

Guys - I'll move mountains and swim the seven seas to get a live tutorial from Sal at the shows! Time to search for a sponsor back here! *hee-hee!* <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>
Ummm, don't you think the TV commercials at the end of the video are cool? My favourite is the firefighter and EMT commercial! THAT really ROCKS! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Samo,
Another great question!!! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>
I heard that Sal can EVEN cut a piece of paper WITH a piece of PAPER!!!!!!!!!!
PS Sal, I did send Olive my phone number, did you get it?

From Golden, Colorado and the knife cuts HAVE caught up to the paper cuts :)

[sam the man..]

John - That rumour had better be true dude! I want to learn to sharpen my paper... *hee-hee!* <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> That guy who posed some of the question in the video - I think he's some sort of actor. Seen him in some TV flick, Ummm, must be my imagination...

I'm scheduled to work the Spirit of Steel in Dallas this weekend (THU-SAT) and the New York Knife Show in November.

Aaaaaw Sal - Can't make it for either shows. <img src="sad.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> But I'm surely making plans for the 2001/2002 bladeshows... *hee-hee!* <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>
