The "Ask Nathan a Question" Thread

[Lapp_Dance]

Let me ask what is really on everyone's mind, will there be a sale this week Nathan the Machinist ?

not my mind, I'm waiting on updates on the Shiv.

Nathan the Machinist , you can eliminate an entire species. Hornets or coyotes?

Hello Nathan,

How is the Boker(?) / CPK UF2 coming along?
Fireman’s breaching tool near completion?
Folder? Any concept art you care to share?

Thank you.

Hi Nathan, will you be making anything else in Aeb-l?

 

[SwarthyGnome]

Oh, Nathan, do you have TantoQ making more special grinds like that SDFK tanto from a few weeks back?

I have no control over him

I enjoy the quick fire method of answering the questions and I agree, mosquito’s suck!

Hi Nathan, Did the analysis that you had done on your DEK3 batch of magnacut that had the problems reveal what might have caused the cosmetic issues?

I’m not the first born.

But I did ask a question yesterday about corrosion resistance of Nathan’s speacial HT Cruwear vs his most excellent D3V…

Why is this steel different from all other steels?

I just spit out my coffee

Nathan, We know that your D3V steel has pretty good corrosion (or rust) resistance; but how does your Cruwear in the Basic 5 compare in that regard?

#justQuotingNathan

From https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/random-thought-thread.1507196/post-21950795

"Cruwear will not have better corrosion resistance than Delta 3V. Delta 3V is not like regular 3v. There is much more free chrome. Enough that it is practically stainless. I have a blade that I threw in a stump a long time ago and it doesn't have a speck of rust on it.

Our Cruwear will have less free Chrome because it has higher carbon that's going to compete for some of that Chrome. The higher carbon also makes it more susceptible to retained austinite which limits how much carbon I can put into solution which ties my hands with aust temp much more so than 3V (if using a low temp tweak)."

Yes

What was the issue with that batch of magnacut, and is Crucible going to make things right with you?
