#6 Back as a youngster, we played by breaking apart my grandmother's sewing scissors.

Big Mistake!

She called us spoiled little targets, and showed us how they did it back before the dust bowl days. For one of us, an old farrier's file, and the other a 1" wood chisel. She showed us how to sharpen the sides, and put a good grip so if we landed a good stab we could twist.

It was rough work, and not being the sharpest of edges occasionally a slash would stick in the other's skin and pull the knife out of hand.

Paid off when the school year kicked back in; we sure had the advantage over our classmates who only knew the flimsy modern knives!
