In my understanding one of the meanings of word "pretty" can be something like "pretty trinkets". If I'm right, than subject of this challenge will be one of my favorite knifes.
This is RAT 1 AUS-8 - useful and helpful tool. I have some kind of small collection of knifes, around 13-15 peaces. I use them outdoor, in car, at job to cut some food (like smoked sausage or khachapuri) or to open some boxes.
I like this knife because of size, form of handle and edge. All my knifes were bought on Amazon. It's much easier to choose knife in internet and much cheaper to buy it online, because here in Georgia we don't have enough choice (and demand as well).
I sharpen my knifes by myself. But it takes time. Around 40 minutes for each. That's why not all of my knifes are sharpened enough :) I have special stone for sharpening. It has different granulosity on different sides - large on one side to shape rude defects and small on another side to shape edge more accurately.
Actually sharpening helps to rest very well. It's some kind of meditation - you make same simple movements long time. You have time to think, to switch to something else. I like it!

Thanks for telling us about your hobby, Toont. It's really so unusual! You wrote your blog in a nice way. I mean the structure: logic, paragraphs, the picture, etc. Good job!
Dear noaslpls,
thanks a lot for correction! :)
Hehehe TOONT .. you have an interesting hobby and an interesting way of meditation.
Just a note, it should be "pieces", rather than "peaces"
