Knife Knowledge Test - PART II!

Only 64% for me, there were a lot more questions about custom stuff. And you have a misspelling on question 33. answer b. you suggest "Adcanced Folding Camp Knife" for what AFCK stands for.
 
Great test QS, and quite difficult. There were quite a few that I simply didn't know.

Suggestion of improvement: like Joe, I didn't really think that 28. had a sensible answer and 21. I didn't like the possible answers either. Iron is oxidizing by self-catalysis so on one hand an oxid layer will help the oxidization process. On the other hand it will restict oxygen access, which will reduce the rate of oxidization so they compensate each other mostly. It is really hard to say which way it goes. Some patinas definitely help prevent further oxidization, others clearly help it along.
 
How about a test for folk who aren't into custom knives (can't afford them yet) and don't know much about the custom knife makers, their products, etc. :)
 
Got "You scored higher than 99% on knife knowledge" but to be honest a few of my answers were guesses. Must have guessed well.
 
Joe, HoB,

isn't a saber edge a flat gring with unground material behind it?

Thanks!
I think I'll replace a) with something else (so all the wrong choices clearly don't make sense), or put up an entirely new question.

By the way, the old test is up and running again.
 
I scored greater than 99%. :D :thumbup: Which probably doesn't mean squat. :(

Or maybe you didn't... ;)

I wonder just how glaringly obvious a dislaimer ("IMORTANT!") must be for people to actually read it. Gonna add some color and make the font larger, maybe that'll help...
 
Boy, your first test WAS easier...for me at least! Cool tests :thumbup:! It is pretty sad how selective my knife knowledge is. Those technical questions I do quite well on but many of the "who-is-who" questions simply stump me :o .

So is the saber related to the (full) flat grind, which has no unground material left but is flat ground or to the hollow grind which usually has an unground portion of the blade but is not flat ground....except if you mean the full hollow grind ;)?

Since a real flat grind is usually called a full flat grind anyway, I think the question does make sense. Especially since many people refer to a saber grind as a flat grind; there are relatively few real flat grinds out there.
