The Logic of Heat Treating Oils

[mete]

Stacy , to the younger generation raised on digital clocks , how do you explain clockwise [to the right] and counter [or anti] clockwise ?....Tripe ? "Now of course there are many ways of cooking tripe but personally I prefer it stewed with tomatoes and mushrooms and a bit of garlic..." "Blonde Mink" by Damon Runyon. Tripe at least gets into literature unlike many more mundane things !

 

[Danbo]

Before proceeding, I suggest that everyone read my article entitled The Anatomy of Tripe. (Tripe is the muscular lining of a cow's stomach.) The article can be found on my Matterhorn Forge website; Matterhorn Forge

Recently, I was discussing the issue of tripe with my good friend "Meat". Despite all of his years as a metallllurgist, Meat could not understand why anyone would want to swallow all that tripe in the first place. “For God’s sake Kelvin, that crap will rot your brain” he says. I tried pointing out that some people will gobble up any silly notion they are presented with. They want to believe that Grandpa’s secret recipe can magically transform that tripe into something worthwhile. But it takes a good deal of effort to actually read the professional cookbook and learn how to make a proper meal. I guess it’s all just a matter of personal preference, do you want to make a healthy dinner, or are you willing to settle for tripe.

Hey, Kelvin. Welcome to the forums(I think).

Chant,

Thanks for the kind words, but my name is Kelvin, not Kevin. I can assure you that that Kevin Cashen guy had nothing to do with my earlier post (and may not have even appreciated it.). I don't know why my internet link opened up to his article instead of mine, but I suspect that I have been hacked.

My appologies -- I read too quickly -- welcome to the forum, and watch out for those hackers .

hahahaha :jerkit:

somebody is hacked

I am up for good laugh as anybody, and looking at some of the subtle mispellings throughout Kelvin's post, I must admit that this is a good one that is quite humerous, but using a login name that is dangerously close to anothers in order to parody any side of the issue is VERY disconcerting! Folks will notice that I have always put my entire name just as I would sign it, on top of every post on any forum, this is because I prefer to stand clearly behind every thing that I write. Already there has been at least one participant that didn't notice it wasn't me- not cool.

It has been close to a year since my articles page was updated* so I doubt anything there could have direct relevency to this thread. While I am always thrilled to have anybody linked to my pages, I would prefer it not to be done under a psuedonym so close to my real name. I have never been one to do a hard sell of myself.

Although I think I know where you are coming from, or at least I hope as it is hard to tell when one uses a pseudonym in parody, I am trying to find a way to keep the chuckling smile and still say that I would like your current account deleted so we could all enjoy the humor under no other good name but your own.

Is there a moderator in the house?

*edit: but I am almost finished with a new article dealing with forging (lots of images) that I hope to add soon. Sorry I guess I am capable of self promotion.

**another edit: O.K. I went back read my own article and I guess there is some relevancy after all (equipment, not asking questions etc..) , but the article was posted in July of last year so I would guess it was written in May or June, (I remember it was put on hold for Blade show preperations). So perhaps the concepts are nothing new.

Kevin,

Kelvin was just trying to interject some humor into a post that has been up and down and yet still make a point. Alas, as is often case with parodies, some people scan too quickly and fail to notice the differences between the fact and the fiction. It was never intended that anyone would actually think the post was written by you. (Hopefully you and Mete at least got a chuckle.) You are one of Kelvin's blade making heroes and he would never intentionally make you uncomfortable. Therefore, Kelvin's account will self-destruct, if that's not possible, he will languish alone in cyberspace.

Goodbye cold, cruel world!

Note to Moderators; Kelvin doesn't see any obvious way to remove himself from the rolls, so please delete him at your earliest possible convenience. Thank you.

he's still lurking I see you

I will mention he's got more info listed than you do on the Forum Info, Kevin

HAHAHA, sounds like another case of senceless humor that some find necessary to post, just to clutter this knife forum with. As usuall this big thread, instead of being truly informative has just turned into another big commercial. :yawn:

[Dan Gray]

dang double post

 

[fitzo]

Goodbye cold, cruel world!

farewell, sweet prince of parody. we hardly knew ye. you shone brightly in your too brief sojourn, bright as a nova in the black of deep night.

know, though, that like king, and kennedy, and dean, and prinz before you, flying so close to the fire for us all was not in vain, nor unnoticed.

farewell, sweet prince......

I don't mean to pull you life support plug by force, but I am not sure that the public still quite gets that I have no idea who you are. I have already received one phone call this morning from somebody who thought it was me. Rest assured folks that, I will NEVER post anything that I am not willing to sign my real name to. A quick check by a moderator or adminstrator could verify that Kelvin's I.P. address and mine do not match.

I do not sell my knives on these forums, I have been asked why I don't post them more than I do. It is because I am here to talk about the materials not my knives, there are other venues for that. Mr. Buxton if this thread went commercial you have my most solemn word that it was not by my hand (my one liner about self promotion was a joke to ease the tension of this situation).

Kelvin, let me inspire you to ask your own tough questions, but knifemakers shouldn't be heros, we just don't rise to that level. I get to meet heros when I attend firefighter gatherings, as I write this there are heros spilling their blood in the sand to keep our country and others free, other people have really actually changed the world and they are my heros. Any knifemaker is going to have to do a whole lot more than thump their chest about their techniques or knives to make any differnce that will even be remembered in 50 years.

Now if there is still even the slightest doubt that I have anything to do with Kelvin's posts it needs to be cleared up ASAP.

Mr. M____,

You should be aware that multiple personalities are a bannable offense.
The ball is already rolling on this before I could step in. If you appoligise to Mr. Cashen it may slide. It's not up to me.

 

[Kevin R. Cashen]

Apology is already accepted before it is even offered. I understand that this was not done for any malicious reason at all, and it was in fun. It just needs to be clarified that I had no hand in it.

 

[Dan Gray]

I'll 2nd that
anyone want to buy a knife? call me..

I too was joking, just in case somebody thinks other wise

sometimes, we do have to spell out things,,but it's the spelling that gets me

Some people never learn. I know who this guy is? Do you?

 

[Mark Williams]

I'll see if the dogs can be called off.

Whoops..Their already here. No offence K.V.

Jesus I'm so confused now.
