Hello Shop Talk Forumites!!!
I was thinking about making a fixed blade that could be abused. I might be getting into Search and Rescue, so I have been dreaming about knife designs.
Anyways, I have had trouble finding info here on the subject. How do I grind a tanto? I jave a Sears 2X42, so it will have to be flat ground. And I was thinking of making the knife 7" or so (7" edge length) and something like 1.5" wide, 1/4" thick. Something I can cut with, but also chop, dig, pry, etc. Basically I'm looking for a TOPS or a strider, but I want to make it.
Thanks forumites!
