[Histonet] The Good Old Days...

[Marcum, Pamela A]

I still can and learned from someone older than me years ago to save you any good cotton denim possible.  If you stretch taut and gently run the edge of a sharpened knife over it, the material will remove fine grit and further smooth the edge. 

I can still remember the first person I saw drop a knife off the knife sharpener and become the luckiest person alive.  She tried to catch it as a reflex and luckily caught on the heel not the edge.  We were all screaming drop it and jump back.

Seems like no one has touched upon the fine art of knife sharpening. Sometimes I felt like an executioner sharpening my axe to the point of splitting a hair. Heaven forbid if you hit a staple. That part of the blade was no useless for days to weeks until the daily sharpening ground it out. Life is pretty good when you just pull out another blade from the plastic box.

Hear hear!  I agree and was just saying I love hearing the stories (although I am not young).  Thanks all for sharing these memories and lessons!

I find weeding through the sarcasm can be profitable and in doing so have learned so much. What the old techs did on a daily basis, we only did in the practice lab and when the automated instruments and pre-made solutions that we have come to rely on fail, experience is so very valuable. Only by their blood, sweat and tears have we benefitted however, we have so far to go, let's do it together.
