Tai Goo B.M.G

Well, it sails through double laminated cardboard bicycle boxes with aplomb!:D

How Tai was able to coax so much sharpness out of such obtuse angles is beyond me. I don't think the photos convey the high level of polish the secondary bevels received. They are glistening! I have a feeling this knife is going to be very easy to maintain when it comes to the edge! What did you use to finish the edge, Tai?

I don't have tons of knives, but the knives I do have I love. This one was love at first sight. I can't wait to give er a workout!:cool:

What an effing awesome knife!!! It has a SOUL! :)
 
Lorien, I used a black hard Arkansas for the final hone and then a homemade leather strop with two grits, a course buffing compound and rough leather on one side and MAAS polishing creme and smooth leather on the finer side. I also stropped the primary bevel just behind the leading edge.
 
you did a hell of a good job, Tai:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
 
Well, the weather has been shitty and things are pretty boring around the bike shop. If you couldn't tell...:rolleyes:

I'll bet you were all expecting some high falutin bushcrafty type stuff out of my BMG, but for the time being, you'll get to see some mundane stuff destroyed by this fine cutting tool.

It's one thing to swing a blade through a thing which is either attached to something solid, or like in the case of a bottle or can, full of fluid. Not the case here, my friends. Technique helps a lot, but the tool is also highly relevant, (ie; no matter how good your technique, I think it would be hard for a guy to cleanly chop through a can using only his hand:)).

Anyway, enjoy:thumbup:

That is a cool knife and the link to the "riving" site is very interesting. I was not familiar with the term or the technique. Thanks
