    Thanks for the .pdf file, John.

    .

    It's rather voluminous ..so.. haven't read it all yet. It seems the "real deal" that cuts to the heart of steel properties inherent in understanding blade steel.

    .

    Good Find.

    .
    This will take some time to digest. I believe it'll be quite worth the read. will let you know more once digested :)

    .

    Thanks again,

    D ale

    Thanks for the welcome John! I'm glad that I was able to find other people with the same passion for knives as I do! Lol. I think most of my family gets tired of lisening to me talk about my new knife finds. Really glad that I found you guy's! Thanks again and have a good day
