Marion,

I would be very interested in evaluating this new blade material. Will we be required to submit a written report? Please feel free to contact me.

I would be very interested in a sample. I have a very picky diver friend who has been bugging me to make him a dive knife. He does at least 3 different week long dive vacations around the world every year. I have seen first hand some of the abuse he puts his knives through. He would be an excellent test canidate - he holds no opinions back.

Please let me know how to get a few samples.

David

Take care!! Michael

Always think of your fellow knife makers as partners in the search for the perfect blade, not as people trying to compete with you and your work!

From Larry Kramer(lkramer@erols.com ), the representative of VR Wesson/Fansteel that prompted my posts about Tantung.

"I have trouble accessing your links sometimes, but I recall someone on the forum stating they had received some bars and were performing tests. I am almost sure that they must have the older product and their results will not be representative of the new stuff. Since I can't seem to get back to that forum, perhaps you could step in.

- Steve Harvey, has an interesting point about carbon level. The fact is that during the processing of this alloy, very few carbides actually form and those that do are extremely fine. Surprisingly, most of the carbon and transition metals in the alloy (Mn, Fe, Nb, Cr, W) are in solution in the cobalt matrix, and so squeezing more of them in does make a difference."

He is referring to a thread at Tactical Forums….

Considering the samples, he has contacted some who have posted and replied by email, after that he is awaiting more samples. His email is lkramer@erols.com.

MDP, I still have a bar of the older stuff, it would be fun do make 2 identical knives and do side by side tests to measure the toughness...
