Here Is My Reluctant Congrats To Garth For Destroying Me In The 1" Hemp Rope Cut!

Here Is My Reluctant Congrats To Garth For Destroying Me In The 1" Hemp Rope Cut!

Garth cut 3725 pieces of 1" hemp rope in 1 hour and 38 minutes!

That equals 5880 seconds divided by 3725 cuts, which means he averaged just under 1.58 seconds per cut.

That time includes him having to feed his own rope.

I mocked him for trying to beat me, and now I'm enjoying a giant serving of crow!

I need a set of noise-cancelling headphones to wear at the shop just to muffle the endless ridicule!!!

Congrats to my X best friend!!!

Let's drink, and never hear about this again!

I found the cutting sound quite soothing

I missed it by less than 600, that should be good for a $0.32 Shop Credit...

 

[Don't drop it.]

Not me I came close but I’ll never get those 6 hours I lost counting.
Was it worth it? Yes it was!!

What were the knife specs, ie., geometry of the blade and edge, as well as dimensions?

Does Garth have better edge retention than Maxamet?

It was a satin finished, INFI Magnum Retriever with the INFI-XC Heat Treat Protocol.

It was taken from an overrun of the same batch we sold about 3 months ago, in August of this year.

Knice Knife!

Let's Drink!

What is INFI-XC Heat Treat Protocol? Is there something better than regular INFI?

Very nice. Now can you make a Rat Daddy LE in this protocol?

“Better” is subjective, depending upon your use case. As Jerry has explained, the chemical formulation of the steel is exactly the same as the regular INFI we’ve all come to know and love over the decades. The only difference with INFI-XC is the heat treat protocol which has been modified to enhance edge retention at the expense of absolute toughness and impact resistance. You can let your penchant for abusing blades be your guide as to which flavor will best meet your needs.

I suspect a lot of folks, particularly those purchasing blades on the shorter end of the Busse spectrum, are going to become quite fond of INFI-XC.

I actually extracted the audio from that clip and uploaded it to the white noise machine on my nightstand.

I’ve never slept better.

Garth told me that he hears it in his sleep and wakes up in a cold sweat!

The blisters on my hands are almost healed. I gotta say, even with gloves and tape that was rough on the hands and wrists.

But, beating Jerry made it all worth it. I may get tshirts made to commemorate the win.

What does the "XC" designation stand for?
Tried reading up on the other threads, but didn't find anything...
