Random Thought Thread

Here's a random thought.....


I sharpen any knife for people that I work with..... I'm tired of sharpening 90% crap Chinese knives

The guy who handed me this said he used it as a straight razor......................................


That is all

I haven't done a hollow grind a loooong time


One of the interesting things about D2 is, with the right light and the right finish you can actually see the carbide. This is not the case with the CPM versions of D2. Which is why they don't work as well for a skinning knife. This is where the famous micro serrated toothy edge of D2, that will continue to cut things like meat and skin even after being blunted, comes from. With the best edge stability for that particular alloy in the industry, these were fantastic skinning knives.

How do you do a hollow grind? do you have a machine for it or do you use a wheel on the grinder?

He gets play sand from the local Home Depot and embeds it into a link of that lead chain he has after cutting it. It has the perfect radius for a nice hollow grind using the bend in the link. Then, he sits on a one-legged stool, with the stool flipped upside down, and grinds that link into the steel till it gives the shape he is after. I believe that is where the "grind" part of hollow grind comes from, but it may be referring to the way Nathan sits on the stool, the jury is still out on that one.
