Hey IG, Another fine example of great minds working as one :lol:... I tried the same thing last week. I was really surprised that the relish didn't eat the blade - an also at how much the mustard did! Dick

Gary I might have thought so too, except that I also got two perfectly normal blades out of that same piece of steel. Dick

I heat treated a 10" O1 blade today the way I always do. Soak for 20 min at 1450-60 in my sugar creek kiln, and edge down into warm (110-120) peanut oil. The blade didn't crack :biggrin: it wrinkled :what!:. About an inch of the edge looked like a dog trying to smile. I had ground the blade...

I'm ready to try again - thanks for the chance. Dick

Gotta try at least once - thanks for the chance. Dick

Mike, On the day of my retirement from the PD, in 1991, I had back surgery for a ruptured disk ... 18 months later, they had to do it again. Now, at age 65, I sail, ride my motorcycle and spend endless hours in my shop. My point is, hang in there, find a good Doc and trust him and know...

This was my first KITH and I couldn't be happier. Got my knife today from amcardon, his second, and I think he has a bright future ahead of him. It's a 9" recurve hunter with beautiful wood and leather work - and sharp as a razor. Thank you and well done, amcardon and thank you Delbert Ealy for...

I've mastered the "older" - waiting for the "wiser" to kick in. Thanks for the chance Ernie. Dick

I'm in and thanks for the chance. Dick
