Nice stuff.......................

Very professional appearance.

Are you planning on selling these in the United States?

exactly!!! making knives requries artistic merit but I am technical man :( so I have fun as I can

over engineered

yes some times they are, but I am trying to lisen to the customers and avoid excessive details

I don't think that sails to US are possiable, it will be very expensive and time taking.

Thank you for hearty welcome
 
one more gadget
screw-clamps for fulltang gluing, first

parallel jaws and outer edges makes the mounting much more convinient,
the whole assembly is stable in any position.
Hollow design allows to remove excessive glue from the knife

This stuff all looks well made........................

Are you selling any of these things in the United States?

The small rollers and fitting interest me

First - he answered that question when you asked it 11 months ago.
Second, please keep sales requests off this forum.
Third, as a registered user, gve has to be careful about discussiong any sales talk in his thread.
 
I don't think I'll go anywhere near stainless for at least a few years, but that quench press is very clever. Your stuff looks all really nice.
 
.... and I have a new favorite thread to revers engineer!!!!



Good stuff gve!!! Genius!


I have a serious question. Why does every tool built on Russian soil have the aura of old world solidity? I hoard all kinds of turn of the century tools, and I find myself slobbering all over the keyboard... Newer manufactured items have the same appeal as well...

That is an interesting chain :)

thank you)

There are several reasons:
- in most of the cases we are still working on old equipment, my milling lathe is 1968 and turning lathe is 1976 :)
- we dont know how to make things with artificialy programmed short lifetime
- I am too lazy to design things that need complex machine operations, and I like solid things. :D

But there are not so many tools produced in Russia now.

So your hobby is to make stuff for people who as a hobby make stuff for people that use and like that stuff as a hobby

I should think how to make it a circle ))
 
My problem with every knife vise we've owned is that the handles are too small to provide enough torque. Easy enough, we replace the handles with knobs. But then, the simple welded on nut and screw can't handle the constant torque demands and strips out. I've gone through half a dozen high end knife vises in this shop over two years. It makes me wonder whether or not the welding on of the nut ruins the HT? Or, if you need an acme threaded rod and nut to really handle the pressures.

If your larger vise had larger handles, and acme threaded rod and nuts I might buy them. Otherwise I'm just about left with designing and building my own.
 
On the fine angle jig, I'd be interested if it had repeatable angle settings. Fine ajustment is a good thing. But repeatable is even more important. Can you put on some stops for fine angle ajustment? If so, I'm in on that one.

Why don't you collect or use knives as a hobby that are made by people that use your tools. That would be full circle.

Surface plate, rule and small square would make that easy and infinitely and repeatably adjustable. Something we probably all have laying around. :D

the rings on a screws are done especialy, you can tighten them with any rod or screw driver etc you have in a hands. It is m10 thread in bigger vise, good enough i think.

What do you mean by "repeatable angle settings"?
You can fix an angle with at least two ways, by clamps on rotating shaft and by nut on a screw. But never the way, angle adjustment is very fine, you can feel even the difference in angle even between coarse and medium sandbelt

And I am not saling out of Russia.

I think the question that is being asked is, without any demarcations, how do you know when you have reached a point that you previously reached? When grinding one side of the blade you reach a certain angle and grind point. By the design of the grinding jig, you must remove the blade flip it and grind the other side. How do you know when you have reached the same angle that you stopped at on the first side? This is the limitation with this type of grinding jig. If your jig would allow bevel grinding on both side of the blade by turning the whole jig around, there might be less issue with repeatability. Angling the platen can be helpful with this type of jig.
Very nice stuff from Eastern Europe.

I'm not following what you are saying here. You flip the knife and the jig appears to remain consistent. Therefore the angle would have to be the same on both sides of the blade. Regardless of which side of the blade you are grinding the angle remains the same with the jig.
