Sword Build

[Stacy E. Apelt - Bladesmith]

Hi Stacy,when grinding bevels on a sword do most makers use a jig of some sort? Thanks,Lu

No, I think very few sword makers ever use a jig of any sorts. It is all just hand-eye coordination....and lots of practice and experience.

In truth, most sword builds are rather non-precise, anyway.

Thanks for the reply and good luck with the rest of the project.
