Bench grinder?

[aceofblades]

Is it safe to sharpen any of chris's one piece knives on a bench grider?

Personally, I wouldn't ever sharpen any knife on a bench grinder.

Too much heat, too much speed, too hard to get the angle right, too much risk of the knife being grabbed out of my hands, and of no use for developing sharpening skills that can be employed in the field.

it would junk the knife with the wrong wheel really quick

a belt grinder with the RIGHT belt and Speed is acceptable other then that do it by hand or machine designed for sharpening

If you sharpen one of his knives on a bench grinder you don't deserve to own one.
