    The 2000 Florida vote? People not being able to figure out a butterfly ballot?

    Bush, Gore, interminable recounts... ring a bell? ;o)

    Totally agree here.

The discovery's most of the fun. So get a whole bunch of razors, clean'em up, hone'em and enjoy
    I'd like to think you have at least one 9/8 in that bunch.

    Joe, I think Lynn revived an old thread. I would also hope Ilija will amend his old statement in light of his recent acquisitions...

    I like the sounds of a 6/8 or 7/8 and love the look of the square tip. But I do have a nagging question going through my head. When describing 5/8, 6/8 etc etc is that the length or width of the blade?
    I take it those are measures of an inch, can someone do the math for me and convert those measurements into CM's for me
