Cutting Nail Nick on Folder

Your killing me

I used a flex shaft hand piece (similar to a dremel) & the thin cut off wheels for years and got pretty good at it free hand. Here are a couple of those.

Also, 440c isn't the steel I'd chose for 1800s' recreation. 1080-1095, W1, W2 would fit better.



 
I have purchased out of China, haven't seen them for sale in North America, cut off discs about 1 1/2" in diameter. They come in a thickness that works well for nail nicks.

I use the thinnest ones from Dremel. Also cut the locks on linerlocks with them.
