I don't know, but I'm going to guess it has something to do with the pin.
Yes, room is needed to sand and polish the pins without obliterating the engraving....

hope the next run will be in metric.
...it turned into measure, add up fractions, measure again, double check my math in my head, write it down to confirm, measure again, check my math one last time before cutting..
Oh, I wasn't implying that I didn't mess up...hence, no close up shots of my deckI've done all of that and still managed to mess up a cut.
Makes sense to me. You canāt put a stamp too close to where you will be peining and grinding a pin.
The wood on the #73 Bocote is first rate.
I think the issue would be the process he does at 10 minutes into the video. When heās grinding those pins down on the belt sander, if he is also hitting the bolster stamp it would wear it down and could make it look distorted.i don't think that's the reason... that doesnt make sense to me.
if you hit the bolster with or without the mark, what should be the difference?
but who i am....
watch that video from minute 1:35
Before Peening the Bolster Pin grinding/ sanding down the pin (min. 1:35)
Good point. Thereās a strong possibility whoever designed the knife simply thought thatās where it should go.Its a fair point - if they need place it down to avoid the bolster pin, why donāt they need to place it up to avoid the transition at the other end of the bolster?
I smell a rat
I don't see the correlation. They are literally poking a hole through the bolster.Its a fair point - if they need place it down to avoid the bolster pin, why donāt they need to place it up to avoid the transition at the other end of the bolster?

It seems we share more in common than just our first name. Funny/scary thing happened yesterday. My wife āorganizedā under my sinkā¦. Found my mess of tubes. āSome of those tubes feel a bit heavier than the othersāLOL, thatās where I keep my stash too!
Sorry, that was me; I had beans for lunch.I smell a rat
Could the answer be that simple?Good point. Thereās a strong possibility whoever designed the knife simply thought thatās where it should go.
I actually laughed out loud at your reply! I bet thereās more of us out there than would care to admit!It seems we share more in common than just our first name. Funny/scary thing happened yesterday.

What a year GEC is having. The angus jack is right up there with the English whittlers IMO. Mix in the 85 cap lifters, TC barlows, 73sā¦ My wallet needs a break haha. Now we have the 86 barlows coming. I might need to find a new hiding spot. Under my sink is getting pretty full
Oh my god, the horror! What if your pipes leak? Hopefully youāve taken the appropriate GEC knife storage precautions of sealing them in a tube of mineral oil, which is then placed in a bag of silica packs and vacuum sealed, then double freezer bagged and locked in a fire and water proof safe!LOL, thatās where I keep my stash too!
