There Are Pandas, and Then There Are Pandas.
And this isn't either of them! The Pandas we're talking about here, are watches, not bears. And what got me thinking about them (again) was a link posted this morning by @cm.rook who pointed a few of us to the very attractive (and not terribly priced) Yema "Rallygraph" Panda which, in it's most traditional arrangement, looks like the one on the left, but can also be had in the version on the right: The model on the left is a true Panda, while the model on the right is called a reverse Panda. The reason for that distinction is clear--Panda bears, only come in the first arrangement. Now at this point, everyone should be thinking about the most well-know Panda, The Rolex Panda, which is actually a Daytona, and among Rolex Daytonas, the most famous of which is the Paul Newman Daytona, which was famous first, because it was Paul's, and second because it sold at auction for $17.8 million (US Dollars).

"Ways a Worksharp can ruin your Fiddleback knife:
1. Pulling the knife through the guide will put longitudinal scratches on the bevels. If you insist on using a worksharp, please be prepared for these scratches. 2. Using pressure to form the belt to the convex shape of the bevels of your knife may cause enough belt stretch to contact the parts of the Worksharp behind the belt, flattening a spot on your grind. This is something I cannot usually fix. 3. As the worksharp is a belt grinder, use of one on a Fiddleback knife voids the warranty on the knife. I simply have no idea what the heat treat status of that steel is anymore, and cannot guarantee the edge, which means I cannot guarantee the knife. So the worksharp system ruins the warranty on a Fiddleback knife. 4. Lump category of all the different ways any belt grinder can ruin a knife.
IMHO, your worksharp should be used on your hatchets and shovels, machetes, or farm tools."
