@Alex.Y. Many thanks, so as not to take the thread off track I suggest you take a look here. Filework or guillochage is an area of French expertise. I'm really pleased with the new knife

My Jérôme LATREILLE Laguiole accompanied us to Quebec this Christmas week. We galavanted in the cold and snow of the very hilly Vieux-Québec City and nourished ourselves to stay energetic and warm. Our dear local friend was a bit taken a back when I started pulling out knives for photos. Out of...

Why? What are the disadvantages of a a hard wheel one?

Yeah, I was thinking about something with VFD, to be able to make things slow and more controllable.

First here's a few pics of the knives in this batch:

They are awaiting there final cleaning and polishing and having the lanyard thong attached. This Paisano model is going to a friend here on BF. I'd just finished putting on its thong with a blood knot:

This Vaquero has some nice ironwood. This one heading to a rancher in Texas.

This Coyote model has elk antler for a handle with a turquoise spacer and bead on the thong. This one is going to a cowgirl also in TX I believe. Its sheath will be stitched in turquoise colored thread too.

As far as grinders. A belt is far more versatile. I don't know where you are but for knifemaking, a 2x72' size with a VFD is the gold standard. It will allow you to do every step in the knife making process simply by changing belts or speed or both. I don't know of anyone that uses a hard wheel grinder.
