There ya go ;)

just a foot note to your work,
The Chinese ability to work steel is where the Japanese got it.

I think that the technologies to work ceramics, gathering (mining) clays,ores and minerals, firing clays at high heats etc. is what led to the ability to make steels.

You will note that both cultures are long famous for very sophisticated ceramics work.

The Japanese of course are well known for the some of the highest quality steel making and finishing work for swords, ever.

Hi Huey14,

My Shanghai photo gallery has 3 pictures of a Tibetan Push Daggar replica I found there in a place called "The Friendship Store." (no kidding)

...I threw a hissy fit, pulled the knife and threatened to stab myself if he didn't do all the silly things that made no sense but I insisted upon. Unfortunately, while pulling the knife out I nicked my finger, which made me bleed and cry.

I will not laugh, this is not funny.

Cheers guys.

Ma'am, very cool dagger. And cool gallery, it's good (for me) to see some pics of China that arn't the most official.



I stumbled across that interesting bit of info last night. I now know why my Lecturer had a glint in his eye when I suggested the topic. It's fascinating.

Thanks Trip Wire!


OK, I just saw this Razor snipe. Revenge will be painful and exacting. ::intimidating girl spit:: tuh

I am going to learn some new IMT's and then take out my Razor-caused frustrations on the closest hapless XY and THEN you'll regret it!

Mr. Harseyyyyyy, :: glare ::.

Thanks Huey14. Had fun there both times but was very glad to be back.

Huey14,
See? We can even mess up your clear and direct thread.

I just wanted to show everyone what me and my classmate Bart leaned how to do after school, a lot.

Back to knives class.
