Any Radio Activity/ Radiation coming off SEKI-City Spyderco steel ?
Wow so THIS is where my second head originated from. I never would've guessed.
When the whole Japan nuclear thing went down, one of the news stations went to Grand Central Terminal with a geiger counter and went around measuring random things. Did you know that the granite there registers enough radiation to make a person sick? And yet 700k people go through there everyday and don't die.

All SE all the time since 2017

The original thread title is "Any Radio Activity / Radiation coming of SEKI-City Spyderco steel?"
While so many have focused on the "radioactivity" or radiation aspect, I took my knives into a very quiet room and picked up, (very faintly), 4 local FM stations, 2 AM stations, and even a shortwave broadcast that keep coming and going....so Yes there is "Radio Activity" in the SEKI-City Spyderco steel.

I am one of the 0.45%.
There are some camera lenses that were made, years ago, with radioactive glass. :eek:Evil D wrote:Wow so THIS is where my second head originated from. I never would've guessed.

I agree with Blerv and feel a little bad jesting at the Ops comments now. Blerv: You raise a very good point. It was a very sad event and we shouldn't lose sight of that. Thank you for reminding us of the bigger picture here.Blerv wrote:I just adore the classic, "I hope my knife isn't radioactive!" when thousands of people died or are suffering Hurricane Katrina type loss.
Keep going, you're almost to Empathy Level 2!
In all seriousness (from my prior post), I think we can all be rest assured there is no radioactivity associated with these knives and if you are concerned, there are rather easy tests you can have performed. But we face low levels of radiation throughout our daily lives.

OP now called Ice cold,Essentially, if you're really concerned why haven't you had one tested yet?You have had lots of time since your last attempt at this thread. You have known the answer all along and that makes me wonder why you have attempted a second post about this here?
Why haven't you responded lately? Feelings hurt again?
Sea slug pods lurking around waiting for you to fall asleep?
What gives?

Especially a radioactive one, Spyderco's backyard has more than adequate protection. :D

Just open an close a few thousand times and any radiation left after the heat treat should be gone. If it remains, the heat treatment is at fault. Send it across to me for further testing :D
For those who are getting radio channels, what bevels do you use?

Hopefully the OP, Icecold, has not been chided into silence. Learning something you weren't aware of before is a good thing :) I would encourage IceCold to take the chiding for what it is, guys busting another guys b**** :eek: Like radiation it's a phenomena that exists
Like Mastiff I would encourage the OP to reply and continue to learn :) Learning is always a good thing :)
