It's a protottone

It occurred to me that people might not know the difference between the stainless steel used in things like saucepans and the stainless used in knives
(it also occurs that people may not care, so #NichePost)
Things like 300 series that is often used for cook wear have a different crystalline structure to knife steels (eg VG10). 300 series are austenitic, while the blade steels will convert to martensite
The differences in alloy needed to create these structures will affect the corrosion resistance
This means that stainless kitchen knives are more susceptible to corrosion than 300 series, especially in salty environments (like in evaporating drops of water).
"Stainless steel" covers a very wide range of different alloys, and you may need to care for them differently

Can sci-fi nerds stop doing that tracked vehicles with two separate track bits on each side? It makes no sense
It doesn't work for steering, it is going to have a higher ground pressure, and it requires more complexity in drive and track tension
The point of a half-track is they have wheels at the front allowing them to steer like a car

We really should call them cai dao instead of "Chinese cleavers". Calling them cleavers gives people the completely wrong idea about the geometry and how you use them #NichePost
Are you actually a bladesmith, or do you just do pattern welding and stock removal? #NichePost
Did you know there are parasitic plants that have evolved to have no chloroplasts (the organelles that do photosynthesis)? #NichePost
