haha, well, I didn't see it as a problem. It was just one of those revelations that surprised me since I had not seen it mentioned before. "heh, it's magnetic!" followed by "the other ones aren't!"...

You're right... it's all coming back to me now. You can magnetize a pin by drawing it across a strong magnet (then you put it threw a cork and float it in a cup of water and voila, compass :))

I wonder if that might be an occassional effect from grinding? Oddly enough it only seems to be magnetic towards the toe and not at the heel or tang.

I was comparing blades this morning and they stuck together! After a good bit of experimentation I determined that it is the toe section of my Kinfolks that is magnetized. Only touched spines...
