Footwear of the Day
I thought that since so many of us tend to enjoy shoes and socks that there needed to be a thread to showcase them off. I dont think it necessarily warrants a daily thread, but if we get enough...

I recently bought a few new finishing hones (and have two more on the way), so I thought I would be fun to somewhat systematically try my different finishers on different types of steel - starting with five different finishers (Nakayama Asagi, hard translucent Ark, Vermont green slate, Naniwa 12k, and Ozuku) across three types of steel (19th century Sheffield crucible steel, post WWII Solingen, and C135). Please feel free to join me with your own tests - the more the merrier. Should be a lot...

B&B Interviews - Meet member captp captp has been a member of Badger and Blade since Jun 4, 2008 01. How did you find Badger and Blade and why did you become a member?

Get ready for B&B’s Second Annual DecemBOAR!!! Please join me for a month long tribute to the often neglected piggy brush. Put away those Badgers and Synths and go hog wild with me. 🐽 It should be a great month and definitely won’t be boar-ing. 🐗 If you don’t have a boar… go buy one! Can’t afford one? hogwash! They aren’t that expensive so you won’t have to go into hock (I even amuse myself sometimes!) to get one. 🤪 I mainly use badgers but I have a few excellent boar brushes that really...
