I’m starting to look for a Montblanc JFK ballpoint pen (the Special Edition Navy Blue to be specific).

When looking for a pre-owned JFK pen on eBay all the suspiciously inexpensive ones come in a standard Montblanc case. But the more expensive examples come in a much larger square case with an accompanying booklet on JFK.

What I’m wondering is if the JFK pens were ever sold standalone in a standard case, or if they always came in the larger packaging with booklet? Thanks.

New knife enthusiast here. I recently purchased a set of Chinese super steel knives (Sanmeiho on Amazon) to use and to learn sharpening techniques on. I have a 1000 grit diamond stone, but I did not need to use that yet on these. But I definitely screwed up honing one of the knives with a Messermeister ceramic rod (1200 grit). I likely pressed too hard, took off a significant amount of metal, and borked up the edge. Stropping the edge with compound really didn’t help any. Doh!

So now I’m trying to figure out how to recover.

1. Should I be able to get my edge back just with just the rod, or do I need to go to my stone?

2. Am I better off looking for a less aggressive, ceramic rod (2000 - 3000 grit)? Or stick with the 1200 and just use a much lighter touch? Note I’m not trying to get a mirror finish, just a functionally sharp slices paper edge.

Is there any chance that Dish Network pays the extra $$ to ESPN / Disney so that we can access ESPN unlimited with our subscription to Dish? I’m certainly not gonna pay $30 a month extra to stream the same content I’ve already paying for through Dush.

(I am assuming the answer is NO. 🤷‍♂️)

Turned on ESPN Radio this morning to hear the Unsportsmanlike crew (again) pushing ESPN Unlimited and their coverage of WWE. Smalls starts talking about how amazing WWE is and how it’s “bigger than ever.” I had to turn it off.

I can only guess they’re pushing Unlimited so hard because they’re subscriber numbers aren’t anywhere close to what they thought they would be. Well guess what? I’m not paying $30 a month to watch mediocre WWE matches and I’m skipping any ESPN news / talk shows as long as they keep pretending that WWE is a real sport.
