The topic of spears peaked my interest in another instrument, the Halbert, or Halberd. This is a Swiss 14th-15th century pole weapon. It is somewhat like a long spear, with an axe-head feature, and a hook. I believe Cold Steel used to offer them. I wish they still did. Here's a link to...

Just curious, maker and site seems to have fizzled out. Justifiably non-legal, but, a cool item none-the-less. May be legal in some states, with CCW.

And other tinkers! I' m just wondering what your advice what be to those others that sharpen knives as to what stones or methods you would advise? I'm sure that there are more advanced methods than the basic Spyderco Sharpmaker. My question is, where does one jump off from there? I'm...
