This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

If you're making/sharpening a spear, you actually only want to get it sharp as a butterknife. Any sharper and it has a good chance of cutting into bone and getting stuck.

And before you ask, I'm in medieval reenactment. Discussions like this pop up a lot
