420 & 430 Stainless

To the subsection:

• • Type 420—"Cutlery Grade" martensitic; similar to the Brearley's original "rustless steel".

you added "Also known as"...can you clarify what you meant by this?--Joel 16:43, 20 May 2005 (UTC)

OOPS! user:knife knut

That makes much more sense...I'm glad I asked. Thanks for the contributions, BTW: I know the theory of it all, but I'm lost in the practical details. I had always thought that surgical steel was Austenitic. The really pricey "anti-acid" tweezers we sometimes buy at my lab are always nonmagnetic, but maybe they have a different popular name for that grade. Also, your name suggests that may have a lot to add/correct on my grind stub; you may want to check it out.--Joel 00:35, 21 May 2005 (UTC)

It looks pretty good, but I still need to increase my writing skills and familiarity with Wiki notation before i do any large edits or writeups. For instance I just discoverd the button that does this: --Knife Knut 00:49, 21 May 2005 (UTC)

Name

Hello, I like your name ! You must be on some of the Knife forums ! The Survival Knife article needs work ! SirIsaacBrock 23:56, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the Heads up on the Survival Knife article. I will do some damage control immediately, and then put it on the back burner to simmer and let my subconcious figure out what to add. It definitely needs a Rambo reference, in additon to a few other completely missing issues. --Knife Knut 22:29, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Partial blanking while editing

A few of your edits to large articles have been going astray, whip, ninja and the one that alerted me to the problem, tinplate. There may well be others so please check your edits and in particular check after your edits to see if the page has been truncated as they are not being immediately noticed, further edits are occuring before restoration. FWIW, I have seen a reference to this problem as being due to the tab bar in firefox although TeaDrinker suggests that it may be google bar. — Graibeard ^(talk) 08:11, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Ok thanks, I was a little distracted while I was making those edits. I will be more careful in the future. BTW it was the Googlebar in Firefox. --Knife Knut 13:20, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

More blanking/truncating

On August 5 you truncated a large section of the history section of the Charleston, South Carolina article:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Charleston%2C_South_Carolina&diff=67850949&oldid=67682632

I'm guessing this was accidental, but its apparently happened a number of times before based on discussions above. Are you using Firefox with Google toolbar by any chance? There's more information about the bug that could be affecting you here:

Thanks, mennonot 19:07, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

I will have to be even more carefull. I was editing only a single section instead of the full article as a workaround, but oddly enough it still generated the same error, I will have to look at my own entries on my watchlist I guess. Thanks for the Link to the bug info. Because I am on dialup I read the content of one tab whilst other tabs are loading; I guess I can't do that when editing. --Knife Knut 19:33, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

help us Knife Knut, you're our only hope

I noticed that you had voted to keep the category of Fictional Characters by Superpower on the march 7th CFD. Just in case you didn't yet notice, Raidant!'s decision to listify them was put up for review, and another vote started on the 14th. It seems those of us in favor of keeping the categories are losing the debate, and I was hoping you could lend your voice once more so we can keep them --Piemanmoo 20:01, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Project Cutlery

I am considering starting a wiki project: Project Cutlery about knives, blades, etc. Would you have any interest in joining such a project to help work on all the knife-related articles?--Mike - Μολὼν λαβέ 05:56, 15 March 2008 (UTC) I'm trying to start a project to work on all the cutlery related articles, to get them cohesive, sourced, etc and protected from the anti-knife coalition. If you want to participate, let it be known here:[1]--Mike - Μολὼν λαβέ 05:53, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

"Persistent political vandalism"?

One undo based on WP:NOTNEWS and WP:UNDUE is neither "persistent", nor "political", nor "vandalism". Discuss on the article's talk page if you want per WP:BRD but don't reinsert it. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:51, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
