Hi all
well i thought i had me a dewar so i could finally start LN cryo treating but when it arrived today i realized that it would not be adequate. the top was extremely loose fitting and was not intended for storage, just holding briefly
I am need a dewar i can use to store LN in for as long as it will last and i can transport roughly 20 miles by personal truck. My knife shop is in my houses garage so i need to know what will be safe and will take a determined person to get open. I have a 1.5 year old son who is never allowed in my garage, but i wanna be as safe as i possibly can. I need something with a good screw on or latch down lid, if i could install a lock even better.
also when LN cryo treating is it important to submerge the handle of the knife, or only the blade. I figure i need a dewar that is 12" deep and roughly 4" internal wide
any help would be awesome, my cousin is trying to get me to use a 25 quart Yeti ice chest since they are virtually air tight but i dont know how safe that would be. they are lockable.
thanks
