Are you sure that you are new to the knife making I like it so far , bevel on grinder , right ?Thanks again on all your feedback, really appreciated.
So here it is, after some work I’ve done on it today.
Decided on O1, since I alreay have some experience with the steel.
As you can see, same as the intended design.
I left some material on the ricasso's length, that will be removed by hand, with files.
Knife’s centreline looks pretty good from both top and bottom.
Let me know if you see anything wrong up to this point.
Next step, bevels.
Thanks again,
Constantin
If you use aligment pins you can take all parts apart, finish them and then epoxy everything
It lets you finish different parts in different directions and to different grit sizes. It gives more control
Grinding the distal taper before, will make the grind easier overall. The thicker the stock, the more relevant this is.Thanks Fred. I’ll try and fix it and make it part of the learning process. It may never be perfect, but it has to be to the best of my current abilities.
Another question please, do you guys grind the distal taper before the bevels?
In my previus knife I did, but this time I let it form on its own, while I was griding the bevels.
I suppose if you have low bevels, then you may have no choice, but to grind the distal taper by itself.
What is your preferance?
Thanks,
Constantin
