I just profiled a blade whose design is "Inspired by" the Mineral Mountain, Assassin blade with many mods of course.
It occurs to me I could use some input on what type grind I should use on the false edge. This one will be a double edge as apposed to the Single edge MMHW uses. The main grind will be Convex on the outside of the curve as opposed to the inside of the MMHW blade. This will give it some more versatility.
I want it to come out just as sharp as the main edge, if that is possible.
Here's what I have for options:
10" Contact wheel
6" contact wheel
1" contact wheel
Platen
3/16" material

Suggestions

Thanks:D

Damm Robert! That thing makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up!

Im no help but all I can think of is a distal taper and convex grinds top and bottom. Grind the top one vertical on the the 10" wheel. You will have a nice tapered in plunge on the top too.

Damm Robert!!
 
:eek:GOOD LUCK :eek:
I am no help here either.
If it was me I would end up with a convex slack belted bevel for both..

i make a few of the simatar type nlades and i find convex the most atractive as well as the strongest. i am working on one now that is a full flat grind. i am happy with the looks but dont know about prformance yet.
