A scientific approach to assess the effect of direct sunlight on INFI heat treatment

I believe! Did you also make all of that kindling in one chop?

When the logs saw my first whack they just fell apart ;)

If it was that hot how did you hold on to it bare handed?

This was a one-time stunt only. The hand is gone, but the INFI remains unharmed :thumbup:

Short answer would be no. Unless you mounted your KZII in a mechanical swinging arm of death machine, and set it loose on a forest of hardwood.

My answer is still no, even for simple carbon steels, without the mechanicalswingingarmofdeathmachine mentioned above.

Just think how hot a 350 degree cookie sheet is when you accidentally touch it while pulling cookies out of the oven. Instant painfull burn, with blisters. You would really notice if your full tang knife got that hot in your hand. Even with Res-c handles, I bet you will still notice!!!!

All I can say is, with your attitude and imagination, you have definitely found a home here, Al. :)

Welcome! :D
 
Sun exposure is not going to hurt your knife. I'd be more worried about the handle working free after 100 days under the blistering, fusion furnace. I found your pics on the delightful side, even entertaining. All whimsical notions aside, the flashpoint of paper is somewhere in the neighborhood of 230 Celcius. While it makes for a great photograph, there is scant chance that you could hold on to ANY part of the knife during this exhibition. I think you'll love it around here!
