	I'm not sure there's anything you need 100 ton for in knife making. 
OTOH, I'm a firm believer in having more than you need over needing more 
than you have.  I have no problem with 100 tons.

	On a sad note, I could have had a 1000 ton press for $1000 a few years 
back.  It was a four-poster.  Beautiful... <sigh>.  Coulda had the 250 
ton for $300, but someone beat me to it.  Another day perhaps...
