Although carbon atoms fit easily into these spaces, their presence reduces the ability of adjacent layers of iron atoms to slide past each other, as figure 7.54 illustrates.

The Milan Sword has a hot-peen construction that melds the blade and hilt together at the pommel and gives this sword a very strong and lasting hilt construction. The crossguard and pommel are crafted from steel with an antiqued finish and the grip is carved from Poplar and tightly bound in leather to complete the sword.
today I used a dinner knife as a soil knife and a plastic milk jug as a watering can and planted a blanket flower in a little patch of dirt next to my building. may we all pray it gets enough sunlight there to thrive. I think the soil there is not great which, if you are a blanket flower, can actually be a good thing.
also I ate the rest of the creeping bellflower tubers. they were pretty tasty with some salt, as many things are.
Between 2009 and 2011 no one knew what to get me as a gift for gift giving events such as christmas so everyone just bought me knives/random sharp things. I have so many random knives and swords scattered around my bedroom because I don't know what to do with them
2 tanto (like a straight single-edge dagger)
a "tactical" kukri
1 butterfly knife
1 unsharpened shitty flea market katana (blue)
1 very sharp high carbon steel katana (brown)
1 claymore sword
2? ...3? machetes
a finger ring claw thing with a curved knife coming out of the knuckle
a 3-bladed Wolverine claw lookin Spencer's gift shop skull... thing (very unsafe, very sharp)
I don't even know what the hell else I've got laying around but this definitely isn't all of it. They're just hidden in random places all over my room, I haven't seen some of them in like 5+ years. I don't even have any formal training for how to use any of these
i showed off my knife in the food channel at work and like two people made a point to say they got that brand and it chipped 🤨 like 1) did i ask and 2) sorry but i don't think you were using it right. i may very well chip mine and if i do it's going to be bc i wasn't using it right
HI!
The Pilot Falcon (older generations were sold in the US as the Namiki Falcon for whatever reason) is a japanese fountain pen manufactured by Pilot!
it's often referred to as the best modern flex pen, or the best gold nib for a beginner! Tldr for people who aren't pen nerds, a flex pen is a pen that...well, flexes! Most pens have some sort of "flex" to them that results in some sort of line variation, but flex pens can handle a relatively higher amount of pressure. Think like a G nib used in a lot of manga. Old pens were the MASTERS at this, and a good bit of that is due to the nibs being made of gold, which naturally has a "bounce" to it that modern steel nibs have a really hard time living up to. Most people wax poetic about Waterman or other vintages like that because of it. Even modern gold nibs can't really keep up with the gold nibs of yore, but the Falcon is considered to be one that can. I do think legally it's considered a "soft" nib, meaning it's not truly a flex pen but has a lot of flex qualities to it, but some terms that get used are used interchangably so. idk. True flex nibs aren't really a thing in fountain pens these days outside of Noodler's Ahab and Konrad (which are their own nightmare and a half tbh).
The Falcon prized amongst artists for it's very fine nib, which Japanese pen manufacturers like Pilot and Platinum are known for. A Japanese Fine is comparable to a Western (Kaweco, Lamy) Extra fine, and a lot of these pens come in an EF, F, and M. It gets alot of nice line variation despite being so small, and is really an all-around great pen, if legend is to be believed :]
An alternative to buying the Pilot Falcon would be getting the Pilot 912 FA, which has something called the "Falcon Nib," not to be confused with the actual pen. They actually look pretty different. The FA nib (right) has these weird cuts on their side that help with flexing and allow it to mimic a full-flex nib, but again. According to legend, modern pens don't flex like vintage pens do, but it IS pretty close.

I've never used either myself, but I'm pretty picky about my pens and so I don't know if I'd ever pay upwards of $200 unless I got familiar with the nib first tbh....The falcon's nib isn't offputting to me like many feel about it, but I'm particular about aesthetics and the feedback on paper and I can't tell if I like them just from looks alone lol. Right now, I don't have much experience with pilot nibs, but if i were to get a pilot pen, tbh I'm looking at the Pilot Elite/e95s in a fine or medium, or a vintage platinum pocket pen.
Anyways that's that and this is also that. *twirls so elegantly and then collapses onto the ground in slapstick fashion*
Saw one of those posts again on social media that recommends using raw onion to treat a cold / stuffy nose. It's always such a wtf for me, and this one was especially brutal, recommending sticking pieces of raw onion wrapped in tissue paper into one's nostrils for 15 minutes and I'm like 😅 ...how could this help??
Like... just chopping onions when having a cold if my kitchen knife isn't in top shape makes me a total teary catastrophe. If I did this thing I would cry, and cry, and cry, and be so congested and headachy for the rest of the day just the thought is rather horrific 😅 Jfc!
But then again, in fiction I do love bogus cures that only make things worse. I wonder if someone (*cough* Warbler) should try this with terrible results.......
This replica of the 11th Century Viking Sword has a robust and tempered blade forged from C60 high carbon steel. The crossguard and pommel are crafted from steel and the wooden grip is bound in spiralled leather. A robust peen over the pommel cap keeps the blade quite securely mounted within the hilt in the traditional Viking manner with the iconic 2-part pommel construction. The sword is paired with a wooden scabbard which is overlaid in brown leather and completed with a wooden suspension loop for wear from a baldric or belt. (Baldric / Belt not included).
