Making my own bushcraft knife: New Progress !

[Revolverrodger]

Here is my attempt to make a bushcraft knife from Nitro V steel. I'm not a knife making expert but I'm learning as I go. In this first part I am grinding the knife to shape using a combination of the angle grinder, bench grinder and belt grinder. Hope you like the vid.
I will keep you posted as the project progresses.

All comments and suggestions are welcome !

So far it is looking great. However the way you hold that angle grinder at times... makes me unconfortable!

You will probably get more views and feedback if you go to the general knifemakers forum. Maybe a moderator can move this for you.

Now comes the hardest part: making uniform and symetrical grind!

Why don't you post this over at BushcraftUSA Forums, there are plenty of bushcraft knife makers on that site that are very knowledgeable and friendly.

Yes a uniform grind is a challenge
Any tips ?

Another potential forum for this project would be Knife Network. Pretty much all knife makers over there.
