H.S.S. 8-80 dies are very rare. They are designed to thread 8-80 micro precision threads on rod stock. These threads are used by knife and gun makers to create a maximum adjust threading, or to create a thread that is less prone to "back-out", a common issue with standard coarse threads.

Try a 8-80 thread on your next project and you'll never go back, or back-out again!!!
