Have you had any corrosion issues with windex? I had leaned oil because I often end up coming and going from hand sanding and did not want to come back a couple days later to rust.

When done for the day, I always coat the blade with WD40 Corrosion Inhibitor. That will end all corrosion problems

Another one in 3-V! I've got about three hours into this one, thanks to my Red Label Abrasives flexible ceramic belts! It's a real game changer to have a 400 grit belt that actually REMOVES metal!

Convinced me, I just ordered a pack.
I'm still setting up my new grinder, but hopefully I'll get to try them fairly soon...

Yeah I was pretty dumbfounded when I could actually see a little pile of metal dust adding up while using a 400 grit belt!

You need some 1" scalloped belts. They make easy work of contour work when using slack beltspeaking of piles of dust

Playing around.
A 9" blade of firsts for me; first time making a knife from a file, first time freehand grinding, and first time heat treating.
Clayed the spine with furnace cement, heated with a torch, quenched in canola oil. The photo is after the second temper in the kitchen. The spine is still soft, the blue edge skates files.
Can't see it here but there is a hamon.
Just because I've never done it before, I may try a stacked leather handle.

Some of the projects keeping me away from the knives. Had a trial run with the cargo bike today, shot the ski bow and worked some more on restoring a small hatchet for a friend. The ski limbs in the pic I will try do do a one piece recurve with some carbon and wood-fiberglass laminations.

That's an awesome blade profile for a hunter man. The way a drop point should be imoHere’s a drop point I’m finishing up. This one has a 1095 carbon steel blade with mahogany scales.
