How do you change your sharpening strategy for push or pull cuts? Is it an angle thing? I've been sharpening the same way on all my blades for years. I feel like a foolOooh! I wonder if I can sharpen one of the secondaries for push cuts, and one for pull cuts?
Now I kinda wish I'd checked the "sure" option instead of the "notify" option.
Guys we are just messing. Not one blade for right handed and one for left or push and pull cuts. We are just having fun.

I don't know...I was wondering if an asymmetrical grind, if not an actual chisel grind, would shave off curls of wood like a hand plane.Guys we are just messing. Not one blade for right handed and one for left or push and pull cuts. We are just having fun.
I like the bomb shield better than the leaf on the DLT, but my Oil Field Jack is also in natty canvas. hmmmmCan’t decide between the SMKW SFO or the DLT maroon linen! Decisions decisions. I tend to prefer the Tidioute trim but the maroon linen looks nice.
Maroon linen Micarta for the win ! !Can’t decide between the SMKW SFO or the DLT maroon linen! Decisions decisions. I tend to prefer the Tidioute trim but the maroon linen looks nice.

i had a gerber flipper for a minute, before the shoddiness of the build drove it to the back of my nightstand. It had a chisel grind wharnecliffe and it did have a strong effect on shaving off wood. Bevel up tended to turn the knife into the wood and bevel down tended to lift it out. Great knife for beating the tar out of, but made me a firm believer in symmetrical grinds.
Where can I get a F&F 62?
They are not produced yet, however all the dealers will have them.
How do you know about #23s coming out this year? I can't find anywhere that shows what they plan to make this year.
A couple clubs have 23s as their club knives this year. Based on timing for the clubs they should be next.
How does a person get into one of these clubs while living in South Dakota?
Well I was having fun.Full flat grind low degrees. Get rid of those pesky bevels and shave paper thin shavings across the grain.
Ah, I get it now. I suppose I was overthinking (and yet underthinking) the matter.
Rachel, I think the reason that the wood plane works is because the blade is kept from digging down into the wood by the flat bottom of the plane. And, the wood is pulled away from the blade by the chip breaker on top. Without those, the blade would do exactly as engrsorenson said.
