Allright, count me in too please. Good vibes to all of us.

Thanks for letting me vent.

Any time.

Ah Simon, you know, end of the day, work done. Some wine, some cutlery to mend. Much better relexation than the T.V.

Amazing isn't it, Seems that Opinels are turned out by millions too.

I use the benchstones, the medium and the fine. To improve angle consistency I made a stand for the stones that I can give a preset angle. Very much like the sharpmaker. I keep my Delica at a 30 degrees inclusive and most of my other knives at 40. I'm quite happy about it. :)

Delica, I believe. And with good reason.

Most pronounced feature of the R2 is how the handle fits the hand, size and thickness are close to perfect. Btw, that is one awesome Police model, Worker#9.

In real life the color is much more grey, further the ergo's are really great. Fits the hand like the proverbal glove.

Creative way to deal with your time in hospital, you made me laugh. Hope you'r doing better now.

Depends on the cleanliness of the steel, with what other materials it is alloyed and by how much and it all depends very much on the heat treament. Normal, very good steels used for knife blades (VG-10, ATS-34 for example) are hardened to around 60 Rc. The new supersteels like ZDP-189, SGPS, Supraco...

Wel Paul, think of the outer layers as less brittle and change the rubber in your example for wood. This way your glass is much less prone to breaking then if it was glass alone.

The outer layers are made of a softer steel, normaly more flexible. This way you have a blade with a hard cutting edge and a reasenable amound of flex to prevent bre...

According to the leaflet on sprint runs 2005, it is used as a laminate.

Overhere the book is pretty expensive so I would be glad with an E-book copie.

You can find more info on http://www.pumaknives.de . The steel is 14110 which is comparable with 440 A. At http://www.toolshop.de to have for 159 Euro, so the $350 mentioned in the above link beeing the normal retail price, I don't understand.

I was missing your contributions for a while and was affraid you left us. Very sorry to hear about your accident and hope it all turns into just a bad dream real soon. I hope that when you visit the forum, your friends here can make you forget the pain.
Get well soon and dont kill your sister.

Very impressive list, please keep us informed.

I agree with you on the tip Dialex, but if I don't like it, I guess I can allways grind it down to something like the original.

Beautifull Marco, What breed are they?
