    Thanks for the welcome. 

    I used to collect knives from the days when eBAY was selling them and over the years have added to them from antique shops etc. All of my knives are from Sheffield and there are 200  or 300. I would like to reduce the number a little and would like to sell some of them. This site does not seem to be my answer to do this and  appears to be very complicated to use. Do you know any other sites that I could try please.

    Regards,

    John.

    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,
