News: Feb 26, 2025 Show

Feb 26th:A new bill in Arizona is making its way through the Senate that would force sites like e621 to implement mandatory age verification for all users—or face potential lawsuits. This system would require third-party vendors to verify every user’s age through a government database. Not only is this a massive violation of privacy, but it also introduces serious risks, including identity theft through phishing schemes and other malicious methods. Worse still, we would have no control over ensuring that user data is permanently deleted after verification.

Since e621 operates out of Arizona, this law would almost certainly impact us if it passes. If you want to help ensure that we can continue serving you without being forced to collect personal information, we urge you to contact Arizona’s senators and ask them to vote NO on this bill.

Please help spread the word about this issue and encourage others to take action.

    1075 is a simple carbon steel and perfectly adequate for a blade. 1075-1095, 5160, O1, and D2 all make for good blades with only a few minor differences. The type of steel isn't nearly as important as the quality of the heat treatment. Don't open your mouth again until you know what you're talking about.

    Dudes, as long as the tang is forged and not just welded on it's fine. If you don't mind a little chipping, that is. ;)
