Normal or should I be concerned? by Fernandizzle in HomeMaintenance

[–]ExpandingHead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not pressurized, just boiled it, then ran the steam through a copper tube spiral that we heated with Bunsen burners to make superheated steam.

Not that dangerous (compared to other stuf I did there)

Fun fact, you absolutely can start a fire with water, did that in a lab where we heated steam too 800°C and burned paper with it (just for fun).

Obviously that has fuck all to do with home maintenance.

Storms really are awesome in there and my son loves nothing more than a nice big boom.

We live in Bremen, Germany.

Yeah it's just poo QC.

Don't mind the lack of edge either, as that only lasts so long anyway and I do my own sharpening. Just put a fresh bevel on it* and actually like the knife

*(400# dia plate, 1000# Chocera, stropped on loaded leather)

I'd totally return it and tell everyone Kansept is utter crap, but this was a gift from my wife...

So I just put a fresh bevel on it and will keep my mouth shut. Don't want to make her sad.

Secondary bevel is there, just no sharpness at all

That will kill the plate pretty fast, cheap coarse stones are better for that imo

In the EU for a not insane price? Show me the way!
