Conventional portland cement based concrete isn't refractory and can be explosive due to off-gassing when exposed to excessive heat.

Legality of using a known knife design
Tyler Miller replied to Austin_Lyles's topic in Design and Critique
It's not illegal like, say, bootlegging dvd's is illegal. The FBI isn't going to bust down your door. But if the original designer catches wind you're selling unauthorized copies, he might decide to seek compensation. In which case, he doesn't even need to be right for you to be in a heap of trouble. In order to even deal with his claim against you, you'd have to hire a lawyer which is already going to cost you exponentially more than any knife is worth. If, however, you're just looking at other makers' designs to get an understand of the principles of folding knives (e.g. how a liner -

Be a little careful with ash water, though. It weakens your fingernails and thins your skin. -
Very elegant.

I think it was just sand. Silica, maybe with a little limestone or feldspar in it, melts nicely.
