Horny chupacabra

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.

Wow, finally we understand what 10" hollow specifies!

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.

Speaking of plasma, I'm gonna need to donate some (a lot) if a new chef's knife/cleaver/camp chef ever gets made. As a home cooking enthusiast, I volunteer as tribute to test any kitchen knife designs that may be lurking in the dark recesses of the evil's genius's mind.

With a 10" contact wheel. I rough the bevels in on a mill just to get the edge centered and grind it by hand.

I have nothing against using jigs, but I don't use them. I like to turn the blade just a little bit as I approach the tip.

This is what I found interesting looking at Mark's grind on the CR35. The scratches run parallel right off the tip. I might have tried to twist to stay perpendicular to the curved edge.
