Results of the Steel Nerd Quiz

[Larrin]

We had a very fun quiz to test steel knowledge, and I have now summarized the results. What questions did people miss most often? Did knifemakers do better than knife enthusiasts? What do people want to learn about steel? All this and more: http://knifesteelnerds.com/2018/04/06/results-of-steel-nerd-quiz/

Interesting. I like data.

Interesting. I like data.

It wouldn't be a steel nerd quiz without nerdy data analysis at the end of it.

Nice job! I enjoyed that test knew more than I thought.

I love the analysis. 900 tests, that’s pretty impressive given how long you have been running this site.

A suggestion for future tests, is to have a ranked response for the question on science, knifemaker, knife enthusiast, as there is a lot of overlap. I could have picked either of knifemaker or science as my answer, but I like knifemaking because of science mostly. The statistical analysis is a bit more complicated then, but you get better data.

I think I like the data at the end even better than the quiz itself. But I'm also a science person (but I picked knifemaker).

Selfishly, I also like the data at the end better.

Larrin I was just thinking, something I'd really like to see your thoughts on are the various differential hardening techniques, where they're applicable, whether they're beneficial and to what degree, etc. Edge quenching, clay quenching, and post-hardening spine tempering being the 3 I'm most familiar with.

Sure I will add it to my list of article ideas.
