Alexander, Thanks a lot for that information

Tempering of steel takes place at around 200+ degrees celcius (for comparison, boiling water is only 100 celcius.)

Also, when tempering steel this usually happends in sessions of one hour.

Cutting Corned beef could (In theory) affect the steel, if the corned beef would stay indefinately hot and you'd leave the knife in there for a LONG time.

In practise, even boiling your knife won't affect the temper as long as it doesn't happen for hours on end.

Hi all, I was cutting through a steaming hot corned beef the other day and I wondered; "How hot is to hot"  Can I adversely affect the temper of the steel this way?

Johnny,

Do you know how much one of those Volts costs?

Here's a little leg up for all you folks that depend on this blog for the inside dope...... (OK, I stole it) 

Okay, here's a tidbit you all can share on the other boards and come out sounding like the smartest guy/gal in the room.  You know that "thumb rest" on the top of the saw blade on the Lumber Jack ?????  Gang, I got it straight from the designer, and master knife builder himself....that is NOT a thumb rest, it is a  WIRE STRIPPER!!!!!

Tom, I'm sure Jan wouldn't mind. 

$400 dollars on gas is way too much, I could buy a horse for that much. Thats knife money we are talking about my friend, it's time to go ahh green and save some green. Try one of those Chevy Volts out.

Just an idea!!!

Johnny,

You are too funny fella!!! While I appreciate your offer (to impose on Jan and Donnie) I might have to pass this year. I do have a couple of tents and a van for the trip but with the cost of gas these days I don't know if there would be any money left for knives once we got there! My gas bill last month was over $400 and most of my driving is within 60 miles of my house. I wish that they would have an option for out of state folks to be able to have a chance at one of the Rendezvous knives - like a drawing to be able to buy one or something. Maybe have 30 for the folks who came to the event and a mail in drawing for 10 -20 others who couldn't make it. If I told my wife that I was going on a vacation to go to a knife factory she would likely tell me not to come back!

Well, it's true Jan.

Time is flying and we will be meeting soon, I can't wait. Getting the green saved up for a couple of knives.
