well sort of. i have a fury glacier bay 11" olive drab tactical knife and i decided to modify it. i got rid of the tanto in it and ground off the guard on the back and reshaped the guard on the blade side so that it was rounded. redid the false edge and reground the bevels. no convex here. just flat grind. i goofed in a couple spots but i dont care cause this was a practice piece. since my belt grinder only came with 60 grit and the only sand paper i have right now is 320 and 600 im just going to hand sand it with 320 and leave it as a satin finish. the edge came out to between .027-.020". ill post pics of it after i get thru hand sanding it. i also rounded the back end of the handle. i plan to put micarta scales on it. i already have the scales. while grinding it on my 1x30 i realized i really need a speed controller so im going to be ordering one this week.
Stacy, i think you can take your foot out of my butt now cause ive already started on a blade even tho i dont have my other belts in yet. HEHEHEHE!!! thanks for the motivation guys.
