Interesting discussion on a bleeding blade

[Rinzler]

Link: https://www.ar15.com/forums/general/My ... -2443699/? There’s a guy who bought a seconds knife that bleeds all over his food apparently. It’s quite the interesting discussion but be warned that 95% of what you read might be nonsense or foul language.

Seems like oxidization. Jeez that forum is full of jerks.

[TkoK83Spy]

Yea, that was painful to read. Yikes! Safe to say I'd stop food prep with that knife though. That's a great cheese for not being some super fancy stuff too :)

[The Meat man]

Wow. Some stellar minds over there. :rolleyes:

Interesting phenomenon, though. I wonder if it is some cross contamination with some other type of material.

What did i just read...

[Naperville]

Reading that was painful.

[Henry_P]

I feel dumber just from reading that thread.

[ladybug93]

i can't tell if it's 13 year olds that don't know how to troll or 70 year olds that's don't know how to internet. that was just painful.

i wonder what's going on with the knife. whatever it is, he's not going to find out there.

Judging by the comments here I think I'll spare myself from clicking that link lol.


I've had non stainless blades do this, they especially leave a funk on fruit.

[Eratus]

Well thanks for that. My IQ dropped below 70 from reading the first page in that page. Holy crap!

[bearfacedkiller]

I was just reminded again that this forum is a special place. I appreciate all you guys and your civility.

Looks like some patina coming off onto his food?

Western slope of Colorado checking in here. That thread is a normal conversation around here.

[ladybug93]

i just sincerely hope none of these guys are publicly advocating for my 2a rights.

[TomAiello]

I'm definitely not going to go read that, after reading this thread. :)

[VashHash]

I've seen that happen with carbon steel blades. Also not going read the thread.

[TomAiello]

I've had it happen with a carbon blade that was treated with mineral oil. I think it picked up something from the sheath (or just from the environment--like dust) and then it came off with some of the oil onto the thing I was cutting.

I have an account on that forum, but I admit I haven't been over there in a long time, and I don't miss it.

[dsvirsky]

I had that happen using my digi cam Strider SnG (S30V) to cut cheese during lunch break at a concealed carry class. Washed the blade off before using it, but I figure it must have picked up some accumulated dust/dirt every time I closed the knife.

[The Mastiff]

No one really seemed interested in solving the question of why that was happening. So much talking past each other and posturing. I've been to worse places but I've never stayed.

[I_like_knives]

When does the conversation get interesting? I read through the first page, and then gave up.

I did learn a little though. I understand a bit better now about why mods are needed on forums. Sheesh.

Funny quote "Many so called "knife guys" will only use their knives to open boxes which contain new knives, and food. Anything else they'll grab a box cutter for, because they don't want to hurt their pocket jewelry." Says the guy who probably uses his custom made AR15 with surefire laser/light combo, equiped with a schmidt &Bender scope to punch holes in paper or empty soda cans with his custom batch of Lapua .338 ammunition.But shiny footprints so everyone is entitled to his opinion on what is important in their life.
