Keep on buddy.

I always thought a genius is someone who is able to explain very intricate matters in a fairly easy understandable way.

BTW mates, please call me Dan, like I was nicknamed at the University of Bridgeport where I was so generously hosted in October to November 1985.

A lot of this info WAS ACTUALLY over my head too lets say up to five years ago...until I met "Metallurgy of Steel for Bladesmiths & Others who Heat Treat and Forge Steel" by Prof. Emeritus John D. Verhoeven.
I invite everyone here getting a hold of this book.

Thanks. Where is the best place to get this book?

 

[daberti]

In a book store. I had to order it living in Italy.
Maybe Amazon?

That book is a good read. Quite technical in sections but full of great information.

I would like to see the Viper Ten reviewed.
From specs it looks like being cryoed which if my memory serves well should be a very first with N690 in production knives.
That's my XMas wish [emoji6][emoji56]

Oops the link to the knife
