I agree FC - those 3 are excellent (for Norm, I'm taking your word) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />. I've had very good results from Peter's Heat Treat Services as well. They are a very professional outfit and many custom knife makers use them for their Vacuum HT services and Cryo treatments. Just FYI.

Thanks Knot

Well you should publish. You are using yours against mine. I showed everyone mine so you should show yours. Test for Test. eye for an eye. Ego has nothing to do with it.

I take criticism much better than most people do. Just remember sure you can criticize me/my tests but I can come back at you. This is what the critics seem to hate.

Thanks

LOL Noss, I test my blades for my own purpose to myself, I have pics ill send ya, I could care less what the public thinks that's why I don't.

Like i said when you take a steel that's controlled environment tested, and 5160 has a cycle rate of 8,000 times on average in an 8 test series before failure, there's only 2 reasons why it failed. I mentioned you, because at the time you did have a Busse combat link up during the ranger test. I had to question that, it was only ethical.

If it was a bad blade then it was a bad blade. simple as that.

and I'm not a critic of yours but more of a fan, and LOL yes your ego is not letting you see straight here...(eye for an eye) LOL.

fastcamo: There is no such thing as 100 percent bomb proof testing. I would still hear complaints even if I used every scientific method in the book. If I recall you stated something similar to this on blade forums. I'm sure I can find the quote if needed.

Anyways. I Didn't mean to upset the balance of the forum here. I just felt I needed to respond to this topic again as I did here after the ranger test.

If you want to continue this. I believe your a member of my forum. If I recall correctly.

edit
Your not my mistake. Your welcome there if you you should so choose.

Ok your right Noss. and I am sorry also, I just didn't like the link and the test up at the same time, that's where i was coming from.

I'm sure you get tons and tons of crap, in fact I've seen a few times you have and I have defended you on B.F.

I should have probably been more clear what I meant when I first posted about it, I apologize for that.

mmmmmm another cup of hot coffee....

Were cool !! Thanks. Lets Drink !!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

.... i gotta take a break for a little bit from buying steel... *sighs* need to get caught up...

but there are so many blades just need to temper my addiction i guess...

SB if you've been sipping that coffee this whole time you have to be wired hard!

I hear ya SB. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> I was outta control on knife buying for a month or so and now I have to get caught up and take a break. There's always a list of knives i want to buy but I have to have some control. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I plan to take a few weeks off...<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />
