Rock that is a great post . I agree with your post. I am a 100% for PTSD . I went to my local VA in Farmington , Mo to get my meds . I was having some serious problems also . BP was 225 / 195/ p 130 . They would not treat me . and refused me medical attention . I had to go to emergency room at...

Nice work Calvin , I like the style very much....

There are a lot of very good grinders on the market , most of the better model have pretty much the same accessories , I have had several of the most popular . I really like the new Wilmont grinders sold right on KD They have one feature that no other grinder has to my knowledge , A tilting...

Myself included ! I was told they are used on curves in track that are fast or widely curved . I guess it makes sense . You drill a pilot hole before you hammer them to the ties. So I was told . I think there was a reference to it some where in the PDF download I would heat them up and...

I looked at page 15 . 30 points is a minimum so I guess some could be in the 60 range ! That's the same as 5160 as far as carbon content goes ..... So I guess I was wrong . you can make a fairly good knife with the right spike it seems. thanks again Ken for the heads up on the PDF file...

Ken thanks for the Info . I went a little farther and I talked to a fella who makes lots of RR spike blades. He says according to known spark tests they range from 20 points to around 60 . The specs on the PDF were ,I think minimum standards. I guess there are many different types of spikes...

sparked like crazy , about 3 ft long spark , wide with many branches. The branches did branch off several time bright white sparks . I compared it to some known 1095 and it looked pretty much the same......

Thanks my friend , I don't work too much with scape steel . 70% is not bad though ! that's what a Japanese sword is, about the same. Thanks for the info ..... Bubba

Ok here is what I have . Met an engineer for Mopac RR and he gave me some spikes , he says they are 1095 High carbon steel ?? The top of spike says HCS . For all I know that could be the Mfg. These are rusted a little but never used . Whats the real skinny on these ... thanks Bubba. Oh by...

Sweet blade ........ very nice work ...... Bubba

Hey grizz why don't you send me some pics . What is the blade cutting edge , measured from the ha machi to the kissaki (tip) . I doubt if its Chinese . Its probably an Armory sword . If blade is folded , it could be atame grain very fine. It may be very hard to see without an etch of some...
