STIC knife question....

[sticshooter]

I bought one of Frank's Stic knives probably 2-3 years ago. It wasnt very sharp when I got it. I never could get it sharp. I tried to get all kinds of people to sharpen it and they couldnt get it sharp either. Frank offered to sharpen it if I sent it back but I didnt want to send it to him ever time I needed it sharpen. I tried to skin a mule deer with it once and it was pointless. I switched to my kershaw and got it done.

With that said he sure does make a nice and I sold the one I had no problem

Red send it back. I will redo and test it. And well make you another new one.And pay your shipping cost<><

I sharpen my knives ona 1x30 cheapo belt sander. never let a knife get dull always touch them up with a crock stix and it will shave forever.Heres a video on sharpening knives with a belt sander. works great and is fast.

I have one, but haven't had a chance to use it. For those that have sharpened them, what angle did you use? I use the lansky stones, and would like to know what yall think works best.

I use my warthog sharpener.

Off topic, Forest, you going to that seminar?

How is that for customer service?

I love mine and hope Frank gets around to makin me another.

I just bought two over the holidays, should have them pretty soon. for the price you are getting a handmade knife made by people in the US, and not some chinese factory, that's a heck of a deal.

Here is mine. I think I gave $100 for it and wouldn't sell it for $200. I have cleaned a doe and several pigs with it and it sharpens easily and stays that way. I would recommend them to anyone.

I have been trying to catch one of the threads to buy a stic knife. But here lately I see a BUNCH of them being sold by folks who have bought them.

Please do not think this is to call anyone out, but I would really lke to know why they are being sold?

Are they hard to sharpen?
Won't stay sharp?
More of a "looker" than a daily user?

Thanks for your answers..........

Forrest is the stic you bought last summer working for you? <><

I received one as a birthday gift from my brother, Razorsharp. I haven't got to use it yet. But I love it. It feels good in my hand, looks good to. The case that came with it is thebest piece of leather work I've ever seen and I hope to get Sticshooter to make one for a knife I inherited from my Grandfather.

How about it Sticshooter, would that be possible.

I've managed to get 2 stics, one I gave away as a wedding gift. By far the best knife I have ever owned, and the same goes for the one I gave my cousin. I wear mine every day, as Stic said, dont' let it get too dull. Touch it up from time to time. I will buy everyone I can from here on out. Matter of fact, I just got another on a deal in the classifieds, can't wait to get it in the mail.

You never know, maybe the guys that are selling them made an impulse purchase and never used them or now need some cash???

I'm thinking this is probably the more likely explanation...when I see these Stic threads I always see them disappearing within a minute or two and wonder if the buyer is making an impulse purchase just to be in the TBH club of Stic knife owners or are they truly getting a knife that they can collect/use. Personally, I love the look of the knives but just haven't brought myself around to buying one yet b/c of the same reasons DJ expressed...I'll be watching this thread real close!

I scored one stick it was for my sons X Mass and it was sharp I will eventually get me one.

Everyone I know that has one wants another or more.

Then there are those that, not to mention names or anything, but those that are really selfish and have 4 or 5.... CASEY!

I'll get one some day.
