![]() ![]() It has been hand forged by our blacksmiths with a beautiful twist design. The K2 Knife is more than a tool however… it’s a work of art. Need a special present for the man in your life? For the railroad enthusiast, hunter, or knife collector in your life, our unique railroad spike knife is a great addition to their toolbox. It's a wonderful birthday present, best man gift or father of the bride gift. I sometimes spray clear acrylic on the handle to keep it from rusting, too.This hand forged knife made of steel with a high iron content, makes a perfect 6th anniversary gift of iron, or traditional steel gift for your 11th anniversary. When you're finished, use a little wax on the blade to deter rust. I say go a head and clean it up and make the nicest knife you can out of it. It sounds like your knife has been forged and quenched. They sharpen easily and make decent letter openers. Some REALLY cool knifemakers (e.g., Tai Goo) make some really cool knives from RR spikes. They are never going to be really tough blades, but that's OK They're still neat. The thing about RR spikes is that they are cheap and the knives you make from them are interesting conversation pieces. There may be other things in a RR spike (like copper) that affect the hardness, but again, that's a case for another search. To a knifemaker, that's way too low and the steel just won't harden well enough to make a quality knife. RR spikes usually run around 0.3% carbon. (It can contain more carbon, but let's avoid that case for the moment.) These are referred to as the 10xx steels, where 1080 contains 0.80% carbon. ![]() Straight carbon steel can dissolve up to about. For now, let's just stick to the simple case for RR spikes. If you want that, you'll need to do a bit of searching around here. What I've said so far is an over-simplification that contains almost none of the technical details. Now different bladesmiths have different ways they do these steps and different steels are treated other ways. (I say carefully because you don't want to overheat it.) At that point you can - carefully - finish the blade and polish it. (This is usually repeated a few times.) The blade will lose some hardness, but will be less brittle.Īll that leaves the surface pretty cruddy. So it is then tempered by holding it at 300 or 400 degrees for a couple hours, then letting it cool to room temperature. That maximizes the 'hardness' of the steel, but it leaves a lot of stresses in it. ![]() In the case of plain carbon steel like a RR spike, this would be done in water, brine, or oil. Then it is heated to critical - at which point it becomes non-magnetic - and quenched quickly. The steel is then 'normalized' by heating it and allowing it to air cool a few times so that stresses are relieved and the grain structure is finer. Annealed steel is 'soft' and can be forged and worked into it's primary shape. To do that, the steel is heated to a critical temperature and then allowed to cool slowly. But here's a short version of it: When you forge a piece of steel to make a knife, the first thing that you need to do is anneal it. ![]() There are some great descriptions of heat treating around this place - some written by metallurgists who actually understand this stuff pretty deeply. Reading between the lines, gunnut doesn't have a means to heat the spike to non-mag. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Ordinariate has produced a small card with frequently used texts for you to print off and use with the Office Book and which fits inside the cover.

(2) Just singing any old hymn in the Office doesnt make it an Office Hymn. The Office loses something of its integrity without it. The Daily Office is foundational for Anglican spirituality in the Catholic Church, and this mainstay of prayer and immersion into scripture has powerfully. The episodes begin with an introduction from the Ordinary, Monsignor Keith Newton, and continue with five ‘how to’ guides, covering the way the Office is prayed, how the book is used on regular days and more elaborate feasts, how to pray the Lesser Hours, and how to use the Supplementary Texts (Hymns, Antiphons, and other texts that enhance the Office through the year). Ordinariate, Anglican Patrimony and your Office (1) The Office Hymn is an integral part of the Western Divine Office.

Adding penetration helps, but still, I would never grab this type of toy if I wanted a world-destroying, “what the fuck just happened?!” kind of orgasm. I just don’t get off as hard with these as I do when there’s a great vibrator or oscillator pressed against my clitoral hood. I can see how this would be an advantage for some people, but for myself personally, I find that orgasms from pressure-wave toys don’t tend to be as satisfying as other types of orgasms, which is why I end up going for multiples a lot of the time. A lot of people say they’re more able to have multiple orgasms with pressure-wave toys because the stimulation is gentle/indirect enough that it doesn’t leave them feeling oversensitized after climax. The first day that I tested this toy, I got off with it 3 times over the course of the day, which is highly unusual for me. It’s got a little flexibility to it, so you could even manually pinch it closed with the hand that’s not holding the toy, if you wanted firmer pressure and a tighter seal, though that’s not necessary. Of course, all clits are different, but some people might find that this oval shape helps them get a better seal around their clit, allowing for better, stronger stimulation. By holding the toy’s “mouth” against either of those areas, I can still feel the rhythmic thumping being transmitted to my clit, but it’s not as direct and intense as it would be if I put it directly on the tip of my clit.Īnother thing that sets this toy apart from others is its oval-shaped mouth. That said, because of its deep rumbliness, I find that this toy works better than most for teasing myself through my clitoral hood or inner labia. This is great news overall but can make the toy feel somewhat jarring if you try to use it before you’re turned on. Warm-up is especially recommended because this toy is quite a bit rumblier/”thumpier” than most other toys of its type. In general I would recommend getting yourself turned on before using a toy like this, for the same reason that it can be nice for a partner to kiss your thighs, lick around your genitals, etc. I am always pretty skeptical about trying new pressure-wave toys, because I have to put them on the most sensitive part of my entire body without first knowing if they’re going to be massively overstimulating, which they often are. This is a big benefit of this toy for me, because my all-time favorite pressure-wave stimulator, the Lelo Sila, is way too bulky and awkward to use in this way.Īlso as with most We-Vibe products, this one is rechargeable, waterproof, can be controlled via a smartphone app or its built-in buttons, and has a 2-year warranty. It has a slim profile and an ergonomic shape that allows it to slip between bodies fairly easily, even in (a slightly adjusted version of) missionary position. Some people report that pressure waves feel like oral sex for me, they certainly feel more similar to oral than vibration does, but overall the sensation is more like rhythmic tapping, or like getting head from a robot.Īs with most We-Vibe products, this one is specifically designed to be useable during penetrative partnered sex. The We-Vibe Melt is a pressure-wave clitoral stimulator, meaning that it encloses the clitoris in its little mouth and uses pulses of air to “touchlessly” stimulate the clitoral head and shaft. I’ve been hearing about the We-Vibe Melt for years, and recently finally got to try one, thanks to my pals at Honeysx. ![]() ![]() ![]() There are small differences in the females that, if you know what you are looking for, you can identify. This is what gives them a slightly transparent appearance. ![]() They do have scales, which are very compact, lying next to each other. Towards the back of their bodies, they look slightly compressed, but this actually allows them to swim around more smoothly. They only have one merged anal fin.Īround the upper part of their heads, around the mouth and above the eyes, they can have a reddish coloring sometimes. Both of these fins have a little bit of a black or grey gradient. Their bodies have a large caudal fin and a somewhat small dorsal fin. They have an elongated, semi-transparent body. Their eyes will sometimes have an orange rim around them as well. Both are a fiery red color, sometimes with a saturated orange gradient coloring. Both the females and males look alike, so it can be challenging when you are trying to distinguish between them. A completely grown adult fish can grow up to 0.8 inches long. The Ember Tetra is one of the smaller fish of their species. They are a perfect addition to any community tank with their peaceful, non-aggressive, and playful behavior as they school together and interact with the other fish in their tank. These are very non-aggressive fish who don’t compete with the other fish either. But once they have become acclimated to their new tank, you will see their frisky, playful nature come out as they swim around your tank in schools, darting in and out of the plants, and decorations. With one exception – when they have just been introduced to a new tank, you’ll notice that they can be a bit cautious until they become used to their new tank environment. Despite their small size, they are not a timid fish. Watching them is truly a treat, and they add so much character to your tank, you’ll be glad you got them.Īlthough the Ember Tetras are a peaceful fish, they are also quite active. They make a beautifully vibrant school, and the more you have, the more striking the school is darting and dancing around your tank. The Ember Tetra is a schooling fish, so you need to keep them in groups of at least 5, but preferably many more. They are a relatively short term commitment at two to three years, as opposed to some fish that live for five to ten years. Their lifespan is an added attraction for beginner aquarists, as well. You can enjoy them for the same amount of time if you care for them properly and keep them in a densely planted, well-kept aquarium. Within their natural habitats of densely vegetated, forested areas and slow-moving water, these fish have been known to live up to three years. Perfect for both the beginner and experienced aquarium hobbyists. The Ember Tetra is a peaceful and easy-going fish. But don’t let its fiery appearance fool you. They are a popular choice for all sizes of aquariums. The Ember Tetra fish belong to a genuinely diverse species called Characiformes, which has about 2,000 fish spread out amongst 19 families.īecause of its playful nature and vibrant coloring, the Ember Tetra has become very trendy in the past couple of years with more than just the nano aquariums. The names stemmed from the fish’s vibrant and fiery appearance. It is now most commonly called the Ember Tetra, Red Tetra, Fire Tetra, and Dwarf Red Tetra. He named the tiny, tropical, freshwater fish Hyphessobrycon Amandae, or the Amanda Tetra, after his mother, Amanda Bleher. ![]() The Ember Tetra was first discovered in 1986 by a man named Heiko Bleher in the South American Araguaia River basin. Larger fish and aggressive fish could bully them, causing undue stress to your Ember Tetras, or the larger fish could actually eat your small Ember Tetras, which would be tragic. They get along with all fish and are the ideal addition to your community tank, although you will want to protect them by not keeping larger and aggressive fish in the same tank as them. These fish are relatively easy to take care of and are perfect for beginner aquarists. The more Embers you have in your tank, the larger and more brilliant and beautiful their school will be as they dart around playfully in your tank. You will want to have at least eight Embers in your tank to encourage them to school together. They are a relatively inexpensive fish as well, only costing about $1 to $2 per fish. With their fiery coloring and playful behavior, it’s no wonder this tropical fish is so popular among the aquarium hobbyists. ![]() If you are looking for vibrant, colorful fish to add to your community tank, then the Ember Tetra is perfect. ![]() ![]() ![]() Remove this link to disable the default site: sudo rm /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/defaultĬreate /etc/nginx/sites-available/nf and add the necessary values to point to your domain name and to add the reverse proxy.
