I live in texas and it's legal for kids to carry knives here. I asked a police officer once and he said a teenager could even carry a switch blade if he wanted. My son went to high school in Texas, carried an Endura clipped to his pocket every day. All of his buddies carried pocket knives too. David

My understanding is that Cr3C2 is the hardest, most durable chromium carbide.

While I will assume all that is mathematically correct, there are a few things going on. Chromium forms a few different carbides, in addition to dissolving in Fe3C, so the chromium and carbon aren't combined in strict combinations based on their overall percentages. Cr23C6 and Cr7C3 are the most co...

Military S110V. It really is a broad subject, but considering the steel (and what other companies expect you to pay for it, IF they even offer it) this probably is the most bang for your buck. There may be more inexpensive options that do perform great but this Military is a bargain for what you ge...

Thank you guys! I want to send it back but the seller says it is no fake. I don’t really know how to prove it… Hopefully your comments will help somehow Cheers Viktor Seller has either been scammed or is a scammer. It's a fake. Look at the pics I posted, Spyderco knows how to properly capitalize Co...

A bit about myself and the design (and an apology in advance for the wall o'text :D): In college, I spent a lot of time in the student machine shop. We had all kinds of tools, but I could never find a simple cutting instrument like scissors or a knife (not even box cutters!) for things like tape, c...

But iron also does that if chromium is not there. I'm not a metallurgist, so bearing that in mind, this is my understanding: Iron will form carbides, cementite. The formula for cementite is Fe3C. This means 3 moles of iron react with every mole of carbon. Iron has an atomic mass of ~56, carbon has ...

How does chromium allow the higher carbon content?

The chromium forns carbides with the carbon.

Pocket clip is the wrong shape also:

Looks highly suspect to me! Send it back!

I see some discussion on weight percents vs molar percents when discussing metallurgy and some comments regarding this element being heavier than another element and that's why the weight percents seems skewed etc... I was hoping to provide a little clarity on the subject. Avagadro's Constant - Avag...

Steel by definition is an alloy of carbon and iron, with the min/max ratios defined. Alloy steel is an alloy of steel, carbon and other stuff. The definitions for alloy steels are much broader. All steel is an alloy, but all steel is not "alloy steel" (a blend of carbon, iron and other mat...

I think it looks great but I would be much more interested if it didn't have a choil. Without the choil it would be a must buy for me. With the choil it is a maybe. Same. I just don't get the "100% blade choil", it's even more a waste of edge space than a 50/50. This would have been anoth...

The more I look at this design, the more it's starting to appeal to me.

I thought he meant go feel yourself - I don't want to tell you how I spent my day....

I have G10 Halperns and I'm very pleased with them, great shape, very comfortable. Micarta will have no problem withwater.

David

That definition is for iron carbon steel. When you introduce other elements (like chromium), you have alloy steel. ZDP 189 is an alloy steel.

polish the bevel then give it a low grit microbevel. no one will know ;) in all seriousness I do the opposite. X- coarse bevel, polished microbevel. polishing any more than that feels like a waste of time to me except for steels with exceptionally poor corrosion resistance. That's a good idea! Than...
