I have been trying to find it but this connection is taking 10 - 15 mins per page to load it may be the pc but it makes searching a big pain

Don't take it too personal. It just makes it easier for all to read if there is puntcuation in your posts.

Here are the links to the stickies, it's just too much info to type.

The sticky's are at at the top of the page for the knife section to assist everyone.

This is a very common question, so along with a few other items, rather than expecting me or others to keep typing the same answers all over again it was put into a sticky. We weren't trying to hide it from you.

There have been a few issues with the site this past week or so as updates and changes have been taking place, the delays may not be on your end.

Also there is no reason to get upset over a person attempting to assist you in communicating. This forum is read and translated into many languages, and its harder for people, Babel-fish and other programs to translate, with run-on sentences, and unusual grammar.
