A complaint about the information in this forum

I recently started a thread about sharpening. I received a great deal of knowledgeable advice which I have just had a chance to implement.

I now have no hair on my left arm.

No one warned me about this side effect and the premature bushcrafter pattern baldness.

Who do I sue?


Thanks a lot guys for all your help, I’m still not perfect, but now I understand what sharp is.

ROFL =) Damn you got me. Thought it was a rant

I guess we now have to engrave on every blade ever produced "Warning! If used for shaving, may cause premature baldness."

Shouldn't that be

"To baldly go where someone has... probably gone before"

Hahah! No.. i don't test my knives on my head

I know the problem well. Just had a new knife delivered this morning and as I was wearing shorts at the time the thigh’s got a trim.

get used to it...you now bear the MARK! Bald limbs are a good way of identifying knife collectors, and apparently bushcrafters too.

There is no need to worry about these symptoms as they usually pass after a month, and reoccurances become less frequent over time. However, if bald patches spread to other limbs, seek profesional help

It grows back eventually...

That's not a knife, it's a personal grooming appliance
