I have some S35VN and would prefer to grind post heat treat. How hard is it to grind (60-61Rc) and do you have any advice/tips/tricks you would like to share? Thanks in advance.
 
I did several folder blades from 3" - 4" all after heat treat and found it not unreasonable to grind. It doesn't take a polish very well so perhaps consider satin hand finishes.

Thanks for the info Frank. I've only ground AEB-L post heat treat and didn't find it difficult to work with. I was thinking that S35VN would probably be pretty tough in comparison.
 
True, it's a little different but then AEB-L seems to be the easiest yet I've done. I was relating it to several other stainless types.
