At least on light targets? Feedback welcome! www.unitedcutlery.com/ProductDet ... 066&cat=KR

Hail, Worm of Morgoth! Well met again! Die now and the darkness have thee! Thus is Turin son of Hurin avenged.

He wondered what the man's name was and where he came from; and if he was really evil of heart, or what lies or threats had led him on the long march from his home; and if he would not really rather have stayed there in peace

Personally I would say not no but hel no!

Cheap stainless steels do not make good swords - and 3cr13 is just a cheap chinese steel. I think it equates to 420j2, which isn't even intended for knives. This might make it less likely to break (less brittle) but it'll probably be more likely to bend, for the edge to warp and I'd be very surprised if it held an edge as well as a butter knife.

JMO!

You are right. In fact that is what I have observed with cheap stainless. The thing that is cost cheaper, normally the quality is no good. Better prefer the expensive one as you don't waste your money.

	My favorite quotes from Rorschach from the comic Watchmen "Once a man has seen society's black underbelly, he can never turn his back on it. Never pretend, like you do, that it doesn't exist." "None of you seem to understand. I'm not locked in here with you. You're locked in here with ME!"

mrstabby: Been thinking the same - but the person that set up the page might not be there anymore and old code gets messy when not maintained. Might be a "repair subscriptions, destroy function X, repair X, destroy Y" situation by now - would mean a total overhaul. Nov 18, 2024 7:29:27 GMT
