    Best option for a slicey, 3-4” full tang stainless blade with a flat grind?

    How about a brisa blade? Fixed blade pk70? Kephart? Trapper?

    Ten k car recommendations?

    I think any car that has reverse in sixth also has an internal lock out that you can’t engage reverse if the car is also travelling at a speed that would have warranted being in fifth before hand.

    Vacuum cleaner recommendation?

    My place is 95% hard floor so it works fine to keep things in check. I do have a manual vacuum cleaner for when I need to use one but it’s not needed very often. The robot cleans while I’m at work. I have been tempted by a robot mower for some time but just other things higher on the list.

    The beauty of it is it doesn’t matter what angle you pick. It’ll just work.

    Stew's Works in Progress!

    Nope, I did it with a grinder and an angled rest. I realised that if one of the pieces is parallel on both sides it’s fairly straight forward. Is that enough of a clue for you to puzzle it out or would you like me to spoil the fun and tell you the rest?
