i,m sometimes amazed at what them old times did. i dont think they knew some of the scientific reasons other then it worked or the reason that they gave it was wrong but it worked anyway:) packing the edge of a knife is one u cant pack atoms on a forge:). They'd be all these little thermonuclear explosions on top your anvil but old timers were sure that it worked come to find out NASA has discovered that deformation under decreasing heat refines and normalizes the internal structure about the same thing as packing:) whoda thunk it?? harley

thanks bruce for throwing that in there. i never want to call some one wrong but not only gun smiths but anyone that wanted to make banite in a spring or blade in the old days used hot lead guys like henery reichting scagle rudy ruana etc and most well healed country black smith we now know we can use hot salt to do the same job harley

so u r sure hot lead wont work?? harley

use 2 thermometers 1 to ck the other by or u could use lead ive thought abut it!!

after my oldest son had completed his first few knives i asked him what was the hardest part he said finishing i asked why he said "because theres so much rubbing" harley sand paper possum
