My current hobby I've been spending a lot of time on lately is knife sharpening. My goal is to achieve the sharpest edge possible. I can put an edge on a knife that will split hairs, or whittle a hair like you would whittle a piece of wood. I can also sever hair from my arm or leg without touching the skin. One of my favorite sharpness tests is the hanging hair test, where you pull a hair down on the edge, and if it ''pops'' it, meaning a completely severed hair, its pretty dang sharp. I also shave my face with a knife I have sharpened. But I'm not easily satisfied, and I'm a perfectionist by nature, and continually seek a sharper, more perfect edge. My other hobbies include chainsaws, using them and repairing them, logging, shooting guns from time to time, running vintage farm machinery, particularly International Harvester tractors. I also enjoy producing maple syrup. My father and uncle have been doing it for 50 years, and I grew up doing it. Those are my hobbies, at least the main ones.
