  • Today marks the 24th anniversary of 9/11. I pray that this nation does not forget the loss of lives from this horrible event. Yesterday conservative commentator Charlie Kirk was murdered, and I worry about what is to come. Please love one another and your family in these trying times - Spark

The Thrill of Victory and the Agony of Defeat!

I believe his blades were through hard FIRST and then he figured out how to
draw the spine back only by 1 point on the RC Scale. He said there was a hamon
in every single blade, but if a blade is differentially hardened or tempered, simply
grinding on the blade with an 80 grit belt would show a very faint line atleast
without any polishing of any type.

You can get an edge hardened line on A2 using a torch. (according to Hartsfield
this was NOT how he did it though)

The edge hardened line was polished out using Pumice (he said)...powder or stone...
who knows??????? :)

You too Daniel. :D
Po made me a kwkn, just like the one I had from Phill. I treasure this knife.
 
I may be the only person on the continent that has never been on facebook! I keep saying I will join up.

I have to check that though, way cool!
 
OK, Po tricked me. His hamon was "cosmetic."
I'm off to pay him a visit now.
