Hi,
I am expirimenting with making knives from old files. I have already annealed a few of my old file blades (it was hard to do many of good decoys and furniture pieces have come out of those files) But they were all to dull to continue to use and its easier to buy new then re-sharpen.
I got interested in trying this cause I own an Anza and I have always really like it. Ok now Ill cut to the question.
When i start grinding the blade is there any certain steps I should be aware of that arent truly obvious. Also at what angles would I grind the knife blade.
Any help at all with actual blade construction would be grealy appreciated
Thanks
Jason
