The tip is cool. Good grinding control right there.

Great Grinds demonstrating much talent!
I don't care for the mixing of mirror/satin finishes on this blade even though it often appeals to me when it's done.

Thanks Kevin - I'm inclined to agree with you on the finish for this blade. The next one will be all mirror......appreciate the feedback

Looks great. Do you use a jig for that tip or do it free hand?

Thanks Greg - glad you like it. I grind the whole knife freehand

I was bragging about the bootknife you made me a while back. Good to see your work is brilliant as always!

Good hearing from you! I don't know about brilliant - I'm just an old geezer on a grinder
