Very cool. A marker on the edge will help you with each of the things you mentioned. I prefer red to black as it is easier to see. Outside of actual techniques, some of the best advice I can give is... - Failure happens. Don't get discouraged when it does. Sometimes you may need to...

Sorry, I should've been clearer. I meant silicone caulk.

Nice Matt!

Caulk.

You're business branding tactics are certainly... unique. GLWS!!!!

https://www.bestsharpeningstones.com/category_details.php?category_id=62 300 and 600 are my most used.

My most used pocket knives are a K390 Endela and a S90V Manix 2 LW. Both are excellent steels done well by Spyderco.

What sized critters we talking about? If you haven't already, give LT Wright a look. That said, my SIL uses a standard Endura to field dress all his deer and elk. Something in the Spyderco Salt line might suit you well, especially given your location and fondness for boating.

I still have quite a few Seki VG10 models around that get used. Not my daily caries anymore but they are on my work benches, in toolboxes and gloveboxes, etc. Spyderco does VG10 well for the use case.

The current starting roster: - Sakai Kikumori Nihonkou - Okahide - Kawatsu - Homi - Homi - Homi The first four are my most used knives. I actually use the two little ones quite a lot.

Same.

@labor of love

Yes it is. One of the ladies that works at the little Hispanic market I go to recommended it to me. There's a Honduran one too but I don't remember it now. She described them both as basically popular "table sauces".
