Rehashing Joe Talmadge's Steel Info

As an update, I recently checked in more detail the ability of the Temperance to chop woods, seasoned, and stability of the edge. With a full grind of 9-10 degrees, no micro, full polish, after 250 chops, maximum force, the edge has 4 small chips about 0.1 mm in depth/width and two large ones about 0.1mm x 1.0 mm. Regrinding out the damage and applying a microbevel this was repeated and the damage reduced to two small chips of 0.1 mm in depth/width. I intend to repeat this a few times, and I have another Temperance and see if the results stabilze.



This is what it takes to do similar damage with a decent tool steel with a 8-10:12-14/0.015" profile on a seven inch blade:



One of these things is not like the other, stainless ROCKS.

That bell sounded *years* ago, some people apparently have a reality filter and even when they get ran over they never conclude it might be do to standing in the middle of the road.
