Seems to be where you live (or the people who are delivering in your area). I had a string of problems until I moved to a different part of SD. I used to pay extra for shipping because my packages wouldn't arrive otherwise. Haven't had a problem since I moved.

If sharpmaker is all you have start with fine stones. Mark the edge with sharpie. And slicing cheese style without much slicing. Just try to go straight up and down (a little back and forth) just on the damaged area near the tip. And look at exactly where you are removing material. Adjust as necessa...

I have diamond and CBN, don't notice much difference. I have heard anecdotally that the CBN has a more uniform size because they are artificially made. And that makes sense. But I've never measured it or noticed a big difference. If I grabbed the wrong one, I wouldn't notice.

I got a good deal on a k390 lil temperance… but a fedex worker stole it from the box. Smkw is now out of stock tho so they couldn’t send me another one. Sucks cus now the refund won’t have as much value since the deals are gone. O well

That is frustrating

If you can't understand 'move it to off topic' not much hope of explaining the rest to you. Nothing to say that hasn't been said. Either I'm not capable of explaining it, or you're not capable of understanding it. I know which way I'm leaning on that🤣 Either way I'm done talking to you about it. Mov...

I think you are the one who is confused. I feel like you keep shouting A Minute Is A Minute. Yes, I hear you, we agree. What you are missing is the act of dividing '1' into infinite parts can continue forever. A minute, mile, a square. Again write out ALL of the smaller increments of '1'. .9, .999, ...

Here's a more interesting problem: You have a closed PM2 in your hand. After 1/2 a minute you flick it open. 1/4 a minute later you close it. 1/8 a minute after that you flick it open. You repeat this process until 1 minute total has passed. At that time will the knife be open or closed? You would ...

........ Without stopping, constant speed. Will You have reached the end by 75s? no, You're 75% of the way there. Will You get there after 99.99999999999s? No, You're 99.99999999999% there. But will You get there after 100s? Yup, welcome to the other side ;). Yes you will get there at a 100%. But f...

I explained it pretty clearly. And you didn't satisfactorily refute it in my opinion. Your answers just dance around it. We both agree we've reached the end of a productive discussion on this topic. Thank you again for the effort, I hope no hard feelings regardless of disagreement. -Matt *I hope at ...

From left to right. Yojimbo 2, P'kal, Emerson Elvia https://i.ibb.co/1dw44Y8/20220615-133403.jpg The Elvia is the minimum thicknesses of what a defense tip should be IMHO. I love the P'kal though if you couldn't tell. But it could be better. Interestingly the thicker Elvia is a much better penetrato...

Where does this end ? '...' What do you mean by "end?" It doesn't have a final term, if that's what you mean. It's an infinite sum. And if you reduce the time to complete the next step by a fraction (or another way to say it would be to increase the speed to complete the next step), don't...

Let me try again. We agree that you can divide a unit into infinite steps, yes? I think we agree. If we don't agree on this, we don't agree on the premise of the pardox. Of course. Imagine you are trying to write out every one of those steps, or take every one of those infinite steps. Can you expla...

You don't see the contradiction? It doesn't matter if the time it takes to cross the next half distance gets faster with each step, there's always another distance to cross. You can't reach the end of an infinite set of steps no matter how fast you go through them. There are endless 'infinite' step...

Synov the crowd says keep going😆 So I'll go a little more. You are describing the paradox. "That's the same as asking if there's a final number of the form 1/2^n. There isn't. There are infinite integers n and infinite numbers of the form 1/2^n." "There are an infinite amount of numb...

But math it seems to me takes some liberties that step over philosophy. The idea that an infinite sequence adds up to a finite number is incorrect to me. Try adding up a bunch of terms of the sequence 1/2+1/4+1/8+... and you'll quickly see they approach 1. They are never going above 1, let alone gr...

Synov I promise I'm not trying to be obtuse. I'm 10 years since my days of Calculus 2, linear algebra, discrete mathematics, and I was a C student at best when it comes to math. I was a Computer Science major not a math major :releived But math it seems to me takes some liberties that step over phi...

Since this thread has been resurrected from its ghostly form, I thought I would take the opportunity for a math lesson. The way I've interpreted it is similarly to the Zeno's Paradox where if you travel half the distance between two points, and then half that distance, and half that distance and so...

Now consider at the atomic level, nothing really touches anything. Atomic/molecular bonds, vibrational frequencies make objects solid. It keeps you from falling through your chair when you sit on it, or the ground when you walk on it. Go small enough, everything is mostly just space. Then think of w...

Trevor inspecting the blade before moving on to grinding.

Nothing escapes his scrutinizing gaze.

he's getting big!
