You are listening to the Gritty Podcast where we talk about all things gritty. Life is not

easy. It never was and it never will be. A good life takes grit. Prioritize who you are

and who you want to be because life isn't fair and a little grit can make all the difference.

Welcome to the Gritty Podcast. I'm your host Brian Cahn and I'm joined by my brother,

the Gritty Broman. And today's podcast, well how are you, Brent?

I'm well. Thanks. Yeah. Today's podcast is with Tyler Prince and he works right here across

the hall from me at mountain ops headboarder. They're seeing feet from us right now. I can see him right now.

And Tyler is graphic arts or marketing? What's the graphic designer for mountain ops?

Graphic designer for mountain ops. Okay. He's in that media room and they do all kinds of fancy.

Bullpen. Yeah. Anyway, he is a total knife nerd. Yes. And loves sharpening knives and he's sharp

in my knife after every hunting trip pretty much. I have a couple of knives from Benchmade that are

made with like S90V steel and S30V. They're super hard steel that retains an edge for a really long time.

But they say you need the patience of a saint in order to sharpen it or the edge is very hard to sharpen.

Well, Brian is not have the patience of a saint. No, no. And you can always mail your

knife into like Benchmade and they have a lifetime sharpening that they'll do. But the

story over sometimes you're like, yeah, it's like a pain in the butt. But so Tyler has this tool called

the Wicked Edge and you can go to Wicked Edge USA.com and check it out. And it's this tool he uses to

sharpen knives. And a lot of people, I've never heard of it. I've never. So I figured we'd have them on

the podcast and there's a little video where you can see it where it's it's essentially a

vice grip that also locks in your sharpening stones. Yeah. So they hit the same angle every time

no matter what. Yeah. So you figure out your angle, your blade angle. He can put a new edge on a

knife that's just jacked up. He's in his precision and he can get that thing. So it has a mirror edge.
