Bigfoot Hunters: Sharpen a Serrated Knife Blade

By -

Serrated knives are often used to cut rope and open cardboard boxes, tasks that can quickly dull the blade. Sharpen individual serrations with an inexpensive diamond hone ($7.96 on Amazon) by slightly grinding the serration with the hone as shown in the video above. You can also use a needle file from any home improvement store, but the result might not be quite as good.

When you sharpen a blade you're removing a small amount of metal from the blade. This removed metal usually deposits itself on the edge and is called a burr. After sharpening the blade you can remove the burr by stropping the blade with a slightly abrasive material such as sandpaper. The guy in the video above strops the blade by using a sanding belt, but you can do the same with a dremel tool or even just sandpaper or an old leather belt with some toothpaste.

Don't worry about perfecting the edge too much; after it, it is the imperfections that make a serrated edge effective in cutting through coarse objects.

Rumors abound on whether or not Finding Bigfoot will continue, but hopeful news is on the horizon. Snake Oil Productions, the production company responsible for Finding Bigfoot, is seeking a permit for filming in the Monterey, Virginia area. Monterey lies between the Monongahela and George Washington National Forests. Definitely a good place to look for bigfoot. We can only speculate if this means Finding Bigfoot has been signed on for additional seasons, or if perhaps a new bigfoot show is in the works. We'll keep you updated on any further announcements for sure.

Samurai Chatter: Have you used it in the field?

Editor's Note: This is a guest post by Suzie M., a sasquatch enthusiast. Crypto-linguists believe that the species known Bigfoot/Sasquatch/Yeti/Yowie ect speak and understand a complex language, which by all accounts seems to stem from Asia. When one listens to it there is definitely a sense of it being Chinese or Japanese. It is a very odd mix of sounds, clicks and what could be actual words. This is the reason some experts are looking into the Asian dialect theory, some have said it could be a lost dialect, which was carried from Asia by the Bigfoot species that colonised America.

Bigfoot injured by a forest fire was taken away and hidden by the authorities, not even Robert Lindsay can top this story

This story was circulating the internet way back in 2004, or maybe as far back as 1999. Back when everybody was on 56k dial-up modems and a "Facebook" was just a regular book with directory listing of names and headshots. This story was so disturbing and so shocking that nobody believed it at the time. It was the Robert Lindsay " Bear Hunter: Two Bigfoots Shot and DNA Samples Taken " story of the time. And like Robert's Bear Hunter story , this witness didn't have a name. The only thing known about the witness is that this person was a government employee, anonymous of course. The author of the story was a science teacher named Thom Powell who believe it really happened and that the whole story was an elaborate cover-up. Powell said the anonymous government employee alerted the BFRO about a 7.5 feet long/tall burn victim with "multiple burns on hands, feet, legs and body; some 2nd and 3rd degree burns". Sadly, there was no DNA samples taken from
