As for blade forging, I've become a fan of "Forged in Fire" on the History Channel -- and the new season starts next month! 19 hours ago, Zeropoint said: Interesting. I have questions, though, like why the extreme curve, and was the file really that wide? I keep thinking about getting into making knives, but never doing anything about it. I've been watching a lot of knife crafting videos on YouTube lately. I don't have and never will have a workshop of my own again, so it's cool to watch stuff like this in action. And I'm learning quite a bit about the craft that I will never be able to use on my own. I keep thinking about getting into knife sharpening. That's a whole 'nother thing, as they say. I really like the S curve knife above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fun show and the first part is usually making some type of knives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I caught a marathon of free episodes when I was recovering from surgery last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeropoint Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 As soon as I saw it, I knew that it was either microscopic or geographic in scale, but not which. I find that intriguing. Why is "not human scale" obvious to us when the difference between tiny and huge isn't? Is it just familiarity with what things look like at our own scale? Something to do with fractals in nature (but wouldn't THAT lead to similarities at ALL scales?)? Lucius 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
