I know, but its my first one

You picked a good one. Do you folks think I should hurry up and re-build the Scandi jig?

Do we want to know what happened to the previous Scandi jig?

I agree, I would for sure buy a bushcrafter in scandi.

I am really digging the scandi grind on this Hiking Buddy. I myself love convex but I will usually look for a scandi first. All have their purpose though.

I am just really digging these FB knives.

I've done BC's before. We have just used the jig up. I've gotta get in here and machine a new one. Right now I'm brainstorming improvements.

They just wear out. On smaller and narrower blades you wind up grinding the back of the device a bit sometimes. Apprentices especially don't get this immediately and after a few of them the jig is just eaten away. I'm going to re-design it to hold the blade on the opposing face. That will solve the problem. The last one lasted 5 years. Before that, I made them out of micarta. They only lasted a year or two.

I'd love both a scandi Kephart and a Bushboot!

I’m not into Scandi. Somehow no matter how I’ve tried it for my application, it’s always lost on me.

I vote for using your time for more wood handles!

if the jig is done maybe only use one side and make a useless chisel grind like Emerson

Seriously, what are those for anyhow?

not sure, that's why I sold the damn Emersons

I have no idea what the use of a single sided grind is. Unlike some companys I focus on making tools. I have problem making a thing just to be a paper weight.

Ain't nothing wrong with a chisel grind with serrations for an everyday working tool...

 

[Bmurray]

as long as they have serrations and a useless spine saw
