Please forgive me if I come off ignorant, but I am a user/buyer not a maker. Was the edge of the blade done as a Damascus with a hamon? Or was it designed like that with a different piece of steel that was welded to the Damascus? I remember seeing all the work Kuraki put into a basketweave Damascus knife and cannot imagine the man hours involved.... It's San Mai or cored Damascus. Solid homogeneous core with Damascus cladding on both sides. Its etched, then polished. Doh! That was an option I had not considered. Thank you for clarifying. |

It needs to be legalized everywhere. Not because I personally want it, but it seems less harmful than alcohol, causes far fewer problems (drunken domestic assault comes to mind), and is an excuse for way too much abuse by law enforcement. Constitutionally, you are correct it should be legalized. My complaints about marijuana legalization is two fold: 1...there is no current test/testing system that allows for rapid testing and accurate results of someone suspected of DUI marijuana that can distinguish between the THC levels in the blood that may or may not be present from prior use and thus no longer impairing driving. This is a market driven issue and as more states legalize, I'm sure something will be developed. 2... There are credible studies that indicate chronic high THC use in teens and young adults causes mental health issues such as bi polar disorder. The human brain does not fully mature until approximately 25, and playing with chemicals while something is in development is a good way to skew the development. Additionally, when you legalize something, you will create a monetary gain for those who are capable of increasing the yield of the product. Since marijuana has been legalized in many states, the chemists and botanists have gotten involved in boosting the THC levels of marijuana. I realize these studies are currently controversial, but it is something to consider. Once those two issues get resolved, I'm fine. Granted I'm on the other side of the fence than you are...but you're not wrong per se. |
