Nothing to stressful today, just playing.

I'm an electrician myself by trade, I was wondering what is that grey mass on the connectors and what's the intention? Never seen that before. Sorry for the OT.

It’s just an anti-oxidant compound. We have to use it on aluminum conductor connections, very rarely run aluminum unless it’s spec’d. From time to time we will use it on copper service feeds like here

Got some flowers from an old friend, reason beeing that my son almost snuffed it in a terrible accident this weekend(teenage boys.. ). He got home from hospital today, and he is OK, but he was lucky..

In keeping with flower pictures and 21's... Used for limb trimming and weeding.
I was dumb and cleaned it before thinking to take some nice dirty pics. My tree pics turned out ugly and blurry, so ya the flowers.

I see you are using your “Electrician’s universal bandage, black, cut-to length”

The etch fades for sure, but it’s kinda like snail-trails on the scales. Gives it a worn in look.

The Damascus steel actually has very good edge retention. I don’t find it’s any worse than s35VN. Might even be a little better truthfully. Most of my S35VN CRKs are the old, softer heat treat, so that may factor.

Haha. I’m pretty sure it’s just a worldwide industry standard. If it’s real bad throw some PVC glue on the cut first. The only time it didn’t work I ended up having to get 13 stitches in my thumb. I held out as long as I could before giving in to an ER trip

Yea I’ve got a Pj 21 ladder that’s a worker. It’s beat to hell on the blade. I love the way it looks tho. There’s some fairly recent pictures of it floating around here somewhere, maybe in the well worn thread. I don’t find the edge retention to be bad either. Someone had asked me and I really can’t tell much difference between it and S35vn as well.
