Scandi grind Recon Tanto

[Bobber]

Hey, just had to share, I was sick and tired of my Recon Tanto not being able to slice and carve very well..
So I brought it to the belt-grinder for a reprofiling..
Started out wanting to make it 20 degrees, but one thing led to another and I ended up making it a scandi-grind, lol...
Then I thought it looked a little stupid with only the black coating on top of the blade and went for my paint-stripper...

The edge got wicked sharp, hairs just jumping of the arm at the sight of my blade
I`ll try to post a picture but don`t know if I can do it, lol...
Hmm, don`t seem to get this picture thing to work....

Get a photobucket account and upload the pictures there. Then use the IMG function in your post linking to the URL of the image.

Going to look even better after a little runin with the pollisher wednesday night, lol.... Thought of wrapping the handle with something colorfull in a japaneese pattern and just making it a showcase-knife, lol...
But I know myself too well, in about a week the knife is back in the woods to prove itself o my other beaters..... http://s764.photobucket.com/albums/xx285/shovelheadpics/?action=view&current=Beaters3.jpg&newest=1
