No belt grinder so I’m using a file for the bevels. It’s cool to see the weld line on this San mai though!

Did a little more filing and some hand sanding, just noticed that my steel had a little bit of a bend to it. What would be the best way to get that out?

Hey coop, if it’s not heat treated yet, just stick it in a vise and bend away. Or hit it with a rubber mallet, or make a 3 point vice jig and bend it that way.

Simply put befor HT, you can abuse it pretty much how you please. Within reason obviously... if you bend it back and forth too much you’ll eventually over stress it and it’ll snap.

Like when you bend a paper clip back and forth a bunch.
