[@rickwhitson2804]

I absolutely agree with you 💯 percent. BTW Joe I'm glad you quit smoking. Might be a good idea to go get that cough checked out . if I didn't care I wouldn't say anything.

[@MeowCat-gm5vb]

Second this. Take care and we want to see you around.

[@rickwhitson2804]

@@joecalton1449 I was really hoping that you wouldn't take it the wrong way

Can’t wait for the next one. Great video as usual!

Hi Joe, Thanks a lot for this video. BTW, on the DMT website they mention router bits can be sharpened with some of their diamond sharpening tools, have you ever tried to sharpen the carbide inserts on the DiaSharp plate?

[@joecalton1449]

sure, diamonds will cut carbide, I have a circular saw sharpening thing I got from harbor freight that does an ok job on carbide toothed saws with diamonds. actual sharpening doesnt take all that long if the bit is just dull, its when the bit is damaged, or severely worn that takes a long time to be able to remove enough material to repair or reshape it.

[@TheScrawnyLumberjack]

With the lathe tooling it all depends on what you’re cutting. I run replaceable carbide inserts. When I was running exotic material such as mammoth molar and carbon fiber. HSS would dull out in seconds while I can run carbide for hours.

[@joecalton1449]

carbide has its place, and its almost magical what that stuff can do on the right materials. but for me it is not an everyday type of tool on what I cut on the lathe

[@twatmunro]

This is exactly why all of my knives are of carbon steel rather than supersteels. I love that I can get a great edge quickly.

[@joecalton1449]

carbon steel is really pretty tough to beat in the hands of someone who can listen to it and give it what it needs

Great video as always J!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤

thanks E! :}

Joe, can you please make another Benchmade Osborne 940 update video🙏🏼 I remember about seven years ago, you made a video about having and using your Benchmade Osborne 940 for ten years. So by now, you must have owned that same Benchmade Osborne 940 for almost eighteen years, and I wonder how's it's still holding up🤔

[@joecalton1449]

i thought that I had done an update on that, but in looking on my channel to find it for you, I coudnt find it, so i will put it on the list for you.

[@ThomasConnolly]

@@joecalton1449 I just found a video of yours from 5/8/2024, in which you did a pocket dump for EricaEDC👍 In the video, you talked about how you made your own 940 blade out of 1095 high carbon steel😁

[@joecalton1449]

@@ThomasConnolly yep, that is actually the second blade i made for that 940. the first one was quite awhile ago out of 1095 and 15n20 random pattern damascus that I forged. and I made one for my other 940 in 440c stainless a couple of weeks ago.

[@davidpape9179]

Hey Joe have you heard benchmade is bringing out the original 940 with a magnacut blade instead of the s30v blade. They also changed the color of the aluminum to burnt copper looks pretty cool

[@joecalton1449]

i have not heard that. but it sounds very cool! I hope they do a better job with the magnacut than they did with either 154cm or s30v though.
