Swedge Grinding

Daniel, I started using the angle iron in 2000 after I got an order from a fellow that wanted exactly 7/8" bevel all the way around the blade. I was just recovering from heart by pass surgery so I had lots of time to think about how I was going to grind this knife and that's how I came up with the idea. Even with as many false edges I have ground I still have to think twice about doing them and may put them off for a couple days. Its a problem for most makers.

I wondered if I was the only one. I think it is good to give the tough stuff a few days, it helps the brain process it all better! :D
 
I use a sine plate and stroke sander. :)

Johnny, I am picturing RR's setup like this...Please let me know if I was incorrect Ray.

Carl, thanks for putting it into a picture. Looks like a pretty cool setup, Raymond:thumbup:

I'll definitely try to make it by your table in Eugene.
 
Ray, Patrick is not from California, not Canada. But I understand how it is easy to get us mix up, both of us being so incredibly handsome and intelligent individuals. :D

I appreciate you taking the time to post pics of the bowie clip. Thanks. And thanks Fred for the instructions. I'll try it all on some scrap steel next time I am in the shop.
