Okay so minus another one for science. After throwing it around at painted cinder block and dropping it onto concrete at the tip and once that fractured then the edge, I think my little hypothesis was wrong about the vibration deal as, this is when I wish I had a high speed camera, but it seemed to ...

You're talking about knowing stuff but when speaking with an entire community of people with very different levels of knowledge/culture on the subject, it can't really bring a lot to the discussion if you do not have a way to vulgarize or explain what you know as facts. That might be one of the rea...

You're totally right there. See I'll admit right now that was a good example of my generational laziness. I saw an old thread and.. well I know steel lol. However you made a very big mistake there sir Sal. Guess who didn't get that sticker? Mhhm. Guess who's a total sticker nerd and would like it. M...

I believe that the reason they break isn't necessarily the force of the drop but.. resonate vibrations that.. ceramics just don't like. I could cite a bunch of science stuff but I don't actually know that, it's an educated guess. I have one of these things left that I was .. admittedly not using as ...

Hi TkoK83Spy, I guess we'll see in time? Hey Jason, Interesting history. I would guess most folks here have an interesting history. Life is a "Long and winding road". Hope Mike' gets well quickly. I guess we're getting a bit off topic here? sal Definitely, that's why I kinda just didn't r...

All I can say is -- definitely do not make knives from this material (HIC) I can't say that I disagree with you here. My opinion on some other things may differ. But the penultimate.. opinion of mine is that.. I just honestly don't see any real world use of it catching on. Thus resulting in .. sale...

I forgot to say that, if I ever have.. mentioned what I have about honestly anyone? Albeit I think we all know what I'm referring to specifically, that would definitely be the one area where me and Larrin are different, think differently. Quite literally as I would type ANYTHING here, graduate schoo...

Sal, I hope that we got our misunderstandings corrected and that you had a great Easter, same to everyone else here. I'm just going to try to stick with explaining science to people who have questions and try not to be uhh. Dialectical. Jas Hi Jas, I should probably warn you that some of us believe...

Just 2 empty 5 gallon buckets left out in the rain Sal. I was doing some stonework in the backyard at that time, so once I had a rainy day I had something to look forward to. We have 2 of those pH digital testers at work. And I edc a bottle of pH strips when I'm out in the field. Most pool chemical...

Hey Steeltoes, How do you collect the rainwater? Have you done any Ph testing on the rainwater? Ph testers are pretty cheap. I think i'll get s new Ph tester and start testing rainwater myself. I remember all of the "scares" about acid rain. sal This is exactly what I was thinking lol 😂 I...

Thanks for the comments!
Nice to be here.

The very fine dust is bad for lungs

(all dust is)

Actually it's a little bit more complicated than that. I could.. scientifically argue that dust is beneficial.

I have probably ran close to 600 different experiments over the last 10 years so it would be near impossible to provide everything I've accumulated over the years. Some testing styles were ditched in favor of others, but that happens when 1 tries to constantly improve. I do like maxamet BTW. It was...

Sure thing Sal. I'm working on gathering test data on the cts b70p mule along with a commentary to hopefully explain my testing style with better clarity. My picture game ain't the greatest but I will do my best to explain the reason behind everything I do. I'd like your data man if that's possible...

Something that I found cleaning. IDK if this helps anyone but I figured it should be shared because I just kinda tested .. pregabalin and which basically made me drunk - please don't worry about me I do know that it's not necessary quote unquote smart?. but I had to do it to figure out what it .. do...

Very nice handles! I had a question about working with rosewood. I read that it's an irritant on the skin/eyes, etc. any experience with that? Any precautions/advice? I've heard of it with other hardwoods but no not really. I prefer synthetic materials so no personal experience. If I'm doing my par...

Hey Jason,

We don't bash each other here. Not Larrin or anybody else. Not negotiable. My forum. My rules.

*EDITED - Private Message Incoming - Kristi*

I journaled my testing experiments on my IG account more for my own curiosity. They have fluctuated over the years to better dial in relevancy to the user experience. I do this as a hobby not a career. And I prefer to test samples from production runs like mule teams, and production folders. I took...

Hi Jason, Thanx for the offer, but no thanx. I generally don't rely on digital predictions. They're interesting to read, like Larrin's, but the Mule Team is all about hands on "real World Experience". Also, we have some really bright folks that have been offering and sharing testing resul...

I sure don't remember arguing with anyone on Blade forums. Perhaps you have me mixed up with someone else? sal He does. If my memory serves me right, we just had a disagreement in some topic at the most. Regardless, all good now! This is making my brain hurt, but I can't turn away!! :spiral-eyes :s...

My experience of the Kitchen Devil type serrations is that they arrive sharp, and as they wear the thin stock and fine (but blunt) teeth allow the knife to keep separating softer foodstuffs almost indefinitely, albeit without finesse or accuracy. I far prefer properly sharp kitchen knives, both pla...
