Oh, so now you're a fan of FFD2. When I first told everyone about how great it is, I guess I was talking crap, right?

Well, you report actually convinced me to get one of this and I think I back up you practical opinion with my tests.

Thanks, Vassili.
 
Congrats Vassili,

looking forward to your opinions.

Hi Carl,

Wayne ran down the details and processes to me in Atlanta at the show. Very interesting stuff. I've know Wayne for more than 25 years and he has always proven (to me anyway) to have a greater understanding than most about knives and performance.

I sent DB an email. Do you know what their production capacity is?

Please, make FFD2 Military! I have to pause testing but even with what I have it is clear winner. For sure it holds high edge extremely well - check my results!

Thanks, Vassili.

Right now we're in the midst of reworking fixtures to move from low volume, almost prototype production, to relatively high volume production. The change has temporarily slowed us down a bit, but we should be up and running this week with the new production process.

As it stands, the production capacity appears to be a little bit behind the market demand. But the new changes should get us going at a maximum rate that exceeds demand.

I'll defer questions about the exact capacity to Charles Allen at DiamondBlade. I'm not sure whether or not he considers that information confidential.

Ah, maybe I'm a little slow, but now I realize who you are: you're Dr. Sorenson, who did all the research at BYU. Nice work, Dr. S. I must admit I'm impressed. It seems that only several times in a century does a developement like this come along: something truly revolutionary that changes forever the scope and face of an industry. I believe that the friction forging process, as applied to cutlery, is just that. All this furor over the CPM process has stirred a new interest in "super steels". Just as LEDs haveforever changed theface of lighting, possibly your work will change the face of knifemaking. As someone said above, I can't wait until this process works its way into the tactical/military arena.
Again, nice work.
