Good evening,
I’m a beginner knife maker and was wondering if I could get some feedback. I would like to eventually sell ones I make so I’m hoping to be able to get some feedback that will make my knives much better.
This first knife I made was only made with a file, hack saw and a drill. The second two I used a grinding belt, 120 grit and finished up to 400 grit sandpaper. All of the knives I sharpened with a 600 to 1000 grit sharpening stone (up until it would shave my arm hair off).
For heat treating I used a torch and cooled with vegetable oil. Steel I used is 1084 from nj steel baron.
For the sheaths I used kydex .80.
Thank you, any feedback is helpful.
