Soooo, as life would have it I have become so busy that I have had no time to finish the remaining 10 out of 15 knives I started. These are all gifts for guys I work with that I have been trying to finish prior to each's deployment. I have fallen waaaaaaay behind and with my impending deployment I feel like I will continue in this fashion.
My question is if there is anyone here that wouldn't mind taking on a side project of finishing( somewhere around 320-400) the blades, getting a working edge on them so that I could knock the handles out. It seems that my handed down Delta 4x36, the fact that I didn't know enough(i.e. read enough) to sand/grind them to near that grit prior to heat treat makes for a much longer than normal time for me to get the blade ready for handles.
I think I could knock out the handles a couple a weekend and the remaining during my short holiday stand down. I'm not sure what to offer $$ wise per blade, but if you're interested shoot me a PM and let me know.
Here's a pic of the remaining and a couple that I did finish:
The two on the left are single sided grinds
