the betamax was awesome compared to vhs......while it lasted.......Yes, but I clearly remember my father, an engineer and quite the nerd, declaring to me in the early 70's that the Torx system for screwheads was clearly superior, and would replace all other types within 5 years. He later bought a Betamax along that same line of reasoning.
Thanks for that chuckle. Needed it.
Betamax was well before my time, but I'll never forget the awful sounds made when the vcr would decide to eat a tape.
I'm quite partial to Keokuk chert and novaculite myself. Flint is good as long as you're not trying to work it from a raw node. Obsidian is definitely easy to work and capable of a fierce edge. Overall I'd say you'd be well served by any of them, provided you're careful cutting... They all tend to be a bit chippy.

We sometimes forget that "tradition" is often merely a well thought out solution for problems we no longer remember having.
Well, I'm 35, so I bring that average down a bit. I didn't know exactly what you guys meant, but was able to get an approximation when VHS was mentioned.
this will shock ya..betamax tapes were still being made until 2015.......
I have to wonder if he didn't hear somewhere that Buck was abandoning that steel.
Yea, tell me about it. I went with Motorola Odyssey for the kids, then all the games took off in Atari.
420hc came around in the early 90s for Buck as the steel they used.
Sure, that makes sense. I must have changed that angle and then it was much easier afterwards.
There's my something new for the day.
I'll help take some of those obsolete knives off your hands, if you're offering them at obsolete knife prices....
Every time I see that chart I ask myself "why don't I own anything in AEB-L yet?"Chart posted on this very forum from knifesteelnerds originally :
Same same, also remember back in the 80's when everybody was eagerly switching to cassette players for their car stereo because supposedly they weren't prone to eating tape occasionally like 8-track did. And then everybody that did so had to start carrying a pencil in their car.

CD's however, have lasted for a long time, but all my stereos now have ports for USB and digital never skips when you hit a bump.
But back on topic, I will always prefer a steel I can sharpen at least fairly easily out in the woods.
