If your paying for someone's "expert" knowledge or skill set it's human nature to be suspicious. In my walk with faith I understand everyone has their own cross to carry. I am who I am from carrying my own. I sometimes need to sit back and recognize others travel different terrains when t...

Shawn I believed did the catra coupons. I'm not sure he did everything for Larrin. My backyard bro science is more flexible. I let larrin do his thing, and I do mine. There's many in this hobby who use fixed systems like hapstone, kme, wicked edge etc who get great results. To me that's better suit...

And yeah, I do unfortunately mean daily there.


Y'all wonder why I'm so miserable

I don't use strops for testing or my own personal carry. I have even been gifted free leather strops and compounds from Max aka stroppystuff. I have always endorsed that these would be the edge I would use and carry. With or without a blindfold I can get clean cuts across the grain on newspaper wit...

After 3 to 4 edges performance hits a plateau. Happens on every production folder I have ever tested. Sometimes happens on customs/midtech if I chose to cut test them or not. Most armchair quarterback reviewers read the script from the same fortune cookie anyways. Right now we haven't reached the p...

Screenshot_20240522_083100_Gallery.jpg I cut off the factory edge, and put 1 of my own. The burr cut off very easily from what I saw. The result was only 190 however I usually see a performance increase in more testing. I believe my 10V pm2 and Para 3 both hit 375 when it hit their peak. The magnac...

Hey guys, I signed up on the list for the team mule HIC MT40P when registration first opened up. I got an email about the next drop and I ordered two of them. It went through without a problem but I received no confirmation or anything related to entering payment info. Can anyone tell me if they ha...

GRX-810 is in the wrong family of superalloys for use as blade material, and it has no carbides. It would also not make a particularly good handle material. It's about 10% denser than steel, and probably has a HRC somewhere around 40 so would scratch easily. High tungsten stellites like Stellite 20...

This just seems like sintering?

It is, and doping at the right times etcetera. Nothing really new at all.

Ok this is a simple question that I’m hoping you can all clarify for me. I don’t have all the fancy equipment and knowledge you all have. I also have one of the worst cases of psoriatic arthritis that my doctors have ever seen so I can’t do the repetitive cut testing. But I do try. The thing that h...

I did say relative for a reason, but depending on how it's done I could.. easily see it being possible. Cheap? Not quite. Dependable? Also a question mark. Id compare it to FS welding aluminum. It works if it's done correctly.

Obviously it's testable but I can't offer that apparently, I'd believe the 66 personally. They're usually not wrong.

Interesting read. Don’t know the answer to the question. But it got me wondering can you 3D print a quality knife? Yes. You can. Obviously relative wording there but this is what's next FYI guys. Edit: VandymanG , reason why I posted this is cause i had the same questions and it's... Uncanny how th...

Nobody cares about run on sentences on the Internet. FYI I cut mine off also and entirely restrapped it. Tactical clothing is a lot better than it has been so you don't need.. that loop it's very pointless and everyone I've shown it to agrees. For Spydercos evaluation, not as if I'm holding my breath.

I should add that my daily driver has partial anti lag(just retarded timing), full novek fire suppression system, sequential straight cut (enjoy the noise) gearbox w act street clutch cause the stock ones are garbage, but everything else is stock. Injectors fuel pump turbo intake exhaust - all stock...

Do I find joy using my knives? Uh no I don't they're a tool. I've never thought to myself ah that cut of tomato was.. satisfying lmao. I enjoy making em cause it's something to do nothing more or less. I've been the one saying that science is BS since I have joined here and I can kinda say that with...

Brain science lmao. Please sir, how could we know the organ that controls.. how we think about science lmao. Ya no not scientific. Not in my life.

Time and place.

Period.
