thanks, FC 3:1, fast etch, sometimes I do it deeper, sometimes light, sometimes I do other thingsNice! I have a couple chef knives coming from HT (hopefully) soon. I had not thought about etching them. What did you use to etch if you don't mind me asking?
Finally finished getting my disc grinder put together. I still need to decide for sure how I want to mount it, so it’s just set on the bench top for now.
Lanternnate, that wood mock-up is pretty sharp. Do you grind all of you bevels on a disc grinder? I've never seen that done.

I was really itching to try it. I don’t have anything ready for grinding right now though, so I grabbed a little scrap of pine and had some fun. I’m pretty happy with how my new toy runs. Can’t wait to try it on some steel.

Attempting my first folder. A friction folder to keep things simple. The design should be familiar to a certain cigar smoking Argentinian maker who likes to frequent these forums:

Have been wanting to try a folder. Care to share a link to Pablo's templates?
