Here is the monthly posting of the unofficial mini-FAQs for May
1998.  FAQs on sharpening, serrated vs plain edges, steel, multitools,
blade coatings, blood grooves, and liner locks are included.  Also,
the brand new Blade Geometry FAQ.  First version!  Comments,
criticisms, or fixes, let me know.

Any comments or criticsms, feel free to comment in rec.knives, or
email me personally at jat@cup.hp.com.

The FAQs can also be found at various places around the net.  Note
that these archive sites do not always have the most up-to-date
versions, so getting them straight off rec.knives is always the best
bet.
