Does it really matter?

from High Carbon · host Blades, craftsmanship, creativity, and laughs!

Back in the High Carbon chaos: we kick off by roasting a product listing with handle colors that change from photo to photo (so, which knife are you actually buying and does it really matter?). Then it’s shop talk, knife bags, and prep for the upcoming Solingen knife show, including a fresh batch of stabilized wood for The Edge of Hope project. We nerd out over an optical center punch for ultra precise drilling, melt glass in a microwave kiln (yes, really), and Paul unveils his new “mega fixture” for CNC handle scales. Plus, class drama, student mistakes, and a surprise visit from VSM with belt testing, pressure, and speed tips, and a new line of belts specifically for non ferrous metals ( and wood ) that wont clog up on you.
