No surprise that you have your visionary hat on KG. We're getting used to that with you. You're correct, if this pans out we'll have a handle on a lot of things. For instance, and assuming that harder steels turn out to be less susceptible (significantly so) to rolling than softer steels, one could very quickly pick out an inferior counterfeit compared to the real McCoy (do you have "real Mccoys" in Australia?). Or, in the case of manufacturing defect, a poorly made or misrepresented knife could be identified as well.
We have aspirations for the economic benefit to the commercial/industrial world as well. This test may well shorten the learning curve considerably. Dull edges aren't just an inconvenience to those guys. Dull edges cost them money. Anything that results in better, longer lasting edges for their processes will put a smile on their face.
We should be getting the "tightened up" version of the test stand out of manufacturing and into our hands this afternoon. If we have the same or better luck as we did with the prototype we'll be one step closer to success.
Like we told Mark R., thank you for your comments and thanks for participating.
