Actually the Celt likes the one on the left best
Left one is 6-3/4" blade. Middle is 7.5" blade. Right is 8.5" blade.
You buy multiple, I'll give you a discount. I had planned to play around with hamons on several of the blades. I.E. Claying the spine, and polishing it up til you can see the line between hard and soft steel.
I don't know if it'll "show" on the left side blade. That one has a lot of nickel in it. But I want to find out anyway.
God spun the dreidel. He created the universe. He set the rules. He gave it a mighty spin.
It is easy to see what is Natural Law (doing things a certain way almost guarantee success, and vice versa). Only children look for planned patterns when life is set free.
Someday the dreidel will fall.
But it is not this day.
storch One of the troubles with smithing this stuff out is that you need to get your hands on it to see all the faults. Or you can forge it really thick and grind it down.
So I sent one of the pair back to be touched up at the forge so I don't lose too much grinding.
^Your knife plus 2 more I had forged previously.
Brief experiment with bluing on very roughly ground unhardened steel.
Success!
And failure:
Same Knife ^
Different knife ^
I think the first knife is saveable. I think the second is a loss, but I'll still try.
Upgrade, on Peacock.
A man and his wife are attacked in the near future. She's killed, he's paralyzed. So an acquaintance / client of his offers to give him an experimental chip to bypass his severed spinal chord. But there's a problem... The computer chip begins talking to him.
Very good! Enjoyable. Though it occasionally delves into hardcore gore seemingly out of nowhere. Not necessarily in a bad way, but it goes from 0 -> 100 -> 0 real quick.
Here's an odd video for you:
Sally is my aunt. She's basically Water Skiing royalty. She got so good that she became a professional water skiier at a time when EVERYONE went boating for vacations and for fun. She was so good that she got commercials. That she was a stand-in for the water skiing Bond Girl in an actual Bond film (Octupussy, IIRC?). She even dated the king of Jordan for a while.
Anyway, an interesting video about an arcane skill that's dying off, even when you consider wakeboarding, and kneeboarding as practically the same thing.
Display MoreYeah, but they didn't mention Israel. If they had, it wouldn't be on YouTube. What was the Jew population in 1963? Incredibly low. You think it's pure coincidence that the guy who killed Oswald, and the guy that had the magic film, which wasn't even released until years late, both happened to be Jews? At a time where Israel badly wanted to kill Kennedy?
I'm not trying to kill your thread, I'm trying to encourage you to look deeper. This kind of thing is always meant to take you away from the target. Susan Wojcicki, the Jew that runs YouTube, is totally fine with this video being up. And all the other kook videos. Now even hint that Israel had a hand in it and watch what happens to your video! You can blame the Turks if you want or the Freemasons or the Quakers or Pacific Islanders, anyone you want. All except one.
Rule One: If you aren't being censored, you aren't over the target. You think the system will just sit calmly back and let you unravel them in public. Come on.
BTW, Michael Collins Piper did some great work on the Israel connection before his death and more has come out since. I wouldn't be surprised if the CIA was involved at some level as well as organized crime. It's called Final Judgment, and the 6th edition is the one you want. Of course organized crime was involved, everyone knows Rubenstein was a gangster. You only think of Italians, because the Jew made movies only ever portray them. The Jew mafia was way bigger. It's Meyer Lansky after all that had dirt on Hoover, not the wops.
That is a decent observation. Why we tolerate you. 10 lines of horseshit are worth cleaning our shoes for 1 that's rather wise.
Come on dude. Tell me you're kidding. Please.
Nope. Starts on Page 71 from a report from the US Senate: https://www.finance.senate.gov…20Report%202020.09.23.pdf
The chinese brought Hunter Biden, his investment firms, and his lawfirm in on BILLIONS of dollars of Chinese deals, as well as giving them MILLIONS in direct pay offs and indirect influence peddling to promote Chinese interests in the USA through Joe Biden.
It's not a coincidence that China paid off the Bidens and now he won't shoot down their spy baloon.
Nah, it's a law in many states. I used to hate that in OR. I could've pumped my own 10 times by now, but you always wait.
New Jersey, too.
Anyone take you up on the spatula?
I think I'm going to do it. But I've got a handful of commissions I've got to finish. One for Storch. One for Astro (these steel / copper billets are test pieces). And then on top of those custom knives, I've got 3 more kitchen knives to grind, and another camp knife. And heat treating it all.
The 2 copper billets, with the tangs forged out.
2 kitchen knives forged out.
Lastly, built a sliding door for my forge:
Don't look too closely. I had a plan, it was working. Then the "steel" rollers I bought turned out to NOT be steel, and I had to improvise.
It stuck! It's still too thick, over 3/8". These are the tangs, I'll forge them to shape. Already welded up the exposed parts.
And there's not enough "texture" to the brass pattern. I'll work on that, too.
Why did he say that? Pfizer and Moderna both claimed 95% efficacy.
Is 95% above or below the Herd Immunity limit?
Check around, 100% of these places can order steel too.
If you know a few places, you can PM me. I only know one location nearby, but they specialize in oxy-acetylene cutting of thick (1+") stuff.
I think you should check around with different suppliers. Check with a local fab shop that does a lot of structural fabrication. Generally they tend to do water jet, plasma tables, and laser cutting. You might find that you can do a one off and see how it does.
I have a local shop like that that I farm out the cutting of signs to. Works out great for me, keeps the costs greatly reduced.
That's a decent idea. But I'm not talking about just regular steel. My first batch would be aimed at 15N20, a high nickel saw blade steel. One of my favorites for kitchen knives.
Last night I eyed up getting a different steel, like maybe 4140, but a quick eyeball says the prices aren't much different. And then I'd have to deal with shipping the sheet metal, with a new waterjetting service... My current distributor would jet their own steel and then ship the much smaller pieces.
Doing them in a batch of 25 (min order for water jetting), I think I can get them down to $50-60. The question is would anyone buy that?
I'd want it. I've held and used good spatulas before.
I take a good putty knife. Cut off the handle. I take a craftsman flat slot screw driver and heat the tip. I bend that to the desired angle.
I TIG the rig and off to the skillets.
In widths from 3" to 6"
And would your time and materials be worth more or less than me making something better with better materials? And would most people understand this, and / or care?
I don't disagree with that. The kids have a different perspective, and it's a perspective that often produces libruls. Not the same kind of librul that I am, and not the same kind you'll find in the ghetto. Trust fund babies are the elite class of libruls.
They know how good they have it compared to a lot of people. They know that they didn't do anything in particular to deserve their cushy life. They're not going to voluntarily give up their cushy life, but they're also not on board with cuntservative ideology that wants to rig everything in favor of the wealthy. They know that everything is already rigged in their favor, so they're not pushing to rig it more. They know that they aren't better than poor people, just luckier.
I'm not saying that trust fund libruls are perfect. I can criticise them if you'd like. But I know quite a few of them, and I'm pretty sure that's how they see things.
But you're wrong again. Modern education teaches that this "wealth" is inherently evil, and must be purged. Even to their own detriment.
Don't confuse iron-clad lasting trust funds as the same thing as intelligence and wisdom on behalf of the trust fund babies.
