I need to find someone who can grind hardened blanks, or someone who can anneal, grind, and then re heat treat.
These look pretty good, Custom BK-9 anyone ? ..lol

Purdy. Purdy awesome. I'd be down for grinding and handling one for ya, depending on what you want out of it.
 
Just to be clear, I am NOT selling or Trading these, since that would be a violation of the rules, and I do not want to cause any issues.
I WILL however be doing something, say a Beckerhead private contest or something, Email me and I will work out details.
 
Wo0t!!!!

Hell Yeah!!! I would love to see something good come from this. There are alot of good grinders out there, TackleF^%k Forge does some good work, from what I hear. :D

Imagine if you could get Andy at FBF to grind a saber covex on them bad boys, some 3D spalting, and some micarta. Or KFU.

The list is endless, but that FBF thing would be the most awesomest. :D

who the hell hardened a bunch of unground blanks?? That's just mean.
 
This should be interesting. I would LOVE a drop point 1/4in thick 9, but sadly I have no equipment to make it happen.

Looking forward to pics of the finished ones though.
 
Those are sweet! Leave those big %$@ to Andy! They would eat up some belts for sure. I wanna do a BK2, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
 
Andy is a busy guy and not even taking orders atm, so I have a feeling that getting him to grind these is only a dream.
 
Ive never done one that large. The biggest blade Ive done was 8 1/2" from 1/8" stock. Kinda a small parang.

Thats Andys work! Here is another pic with my other woods knife. Its his Bushcrafter. Great knife, Andy is the best out there.

The other two are beautiful too but I love that edge grind on Andy's
That grip on your woods knife is downright gorgeous.
 
Yeah, his grinds are killer. I just did my first convex with some help from Andy. Its the one Clich got.
The wood is Q/S White Oak. I made that identical knife for somebody and loved the combo so much I made one for myself!

CF, they are orange G10. Im still working on my grinds. It takes alooooot of practice to get consistent. Ive gotten alot better since I made my first one back in March.
 
Yep, I'm with you. The plunge is the hardest part for me. I get the neatest plunges with files, since my belt grinder isn't the best, but thats a lot harder with something hardened.
