Grinding? I maybe more tempted to lite up the forge. I did get 7 blades heat treated last night so I may try some grinding but the cold and the wind really got to me yesterday.
Mike, a number of the piece's are ones I've had around for awhile but most the smaller knife blades I did last week. I never time myself but on the smaller blades I did about 5 durring the day but not all at once. I usually quit when I start getting sore or I need to come in to warm up. Most the knife blades started out as varrious type of agricultural tines.

Dang Ray!...you are giving me the chills!!!
As I wipe the sweat off my brow....it's sunny and about 74 degrees here in Ohio today
The toes of my shoes are grass-stained from just mowing the lawn and sweeping the clippings off of the porch. There's a nice breeze blowing which keeps the wind chimes singing...
SLAP!...ok, I just woke up...we had a warm slushy snow yesterday which froze into a bumpy icy mess this morning. The roads are covered in a black wintery sludge with pot holes growing by the minute under a dull grey sky dampening the sun. It's a typical winter day here in the mid-west. iiik!!
Think of happy places....and get back to grinding those blades!

So I'm guessing that you can confirm that a KMG won't bounce! Probably won't melt like one of them Bader things either, but let's not find out!
