would be greater. >>>

 te he he-- I am skeptical, David--Blade loss would be
greater don't you mean? Be it remembered that
ureilites are chock full with nano diamonds? Seems to
me that is a war of attrition with the diamonds.
While the blade is cutting the Ureilite the Ureilite
is cutting the blade; metal,diamond and, all.

Hello Dave,btw I'd not had the pleasure of snipping
you until now. Consider yourself snipped-- welcome to
the clan.
