    lol... neat thing about my job... i fly for free.. *(standby in the empty seats but free is free.. ).. so i am sure you guys will see me at a meet one day....

    wifey poo is not a latina... she is gringa *(6' tall amazon... )... and probably the sweetest girl on earth...

    i also am gringo but fluent in spanish due to work and friends....

    now back to the good stuff....

    i see the logic in starting at ~250 then working my way up till if find "the sweet spot"... i climb to it and there is less chance of overshooting and having to restart the temper process.....

    thanks again fellas... we gonna have fun today!!

    ok... finally after 3 trips to the oven i have finally came to the conclusion that the file i made this from was sh*t..... chinese made POS file....

    the other 2 i made from quality made in the USA files hold their edges and get sharp... very very sharp....

    but this one no matter what i did it would get sharp.... then if you did ANYTHING to it... strop... CRoX etc... it lost its edge rapidly....

    therefore... it has ceased to exist..... there will be a short ceremony later..... alas poor yorick... i knew him well.....
