Zero convexed a ratweiler today

[Ndocyk]

been practicing grinding for a few years now and figured I show a blade I did today. This is a ratweiler 3/16 that I moved the saber line up more closer to the spine. I wasn't a fan of how the factory grind line didn't stay a constant distance from the edge as it got closer to the tip and the geometry became much thicker ground so I took care of that. Anyway here she is.

That looks great. What is your setup like?

 

[ExtraBaconPlease]

Wow. Extremely nice work man!

 

[Ndocyk]

Thanks guys. I have a 2x36 belt grinder.

 

[Cheesehead_Slasher]

Looks sharp in every way!!

 

[zombieassassin]

That looks amazing bro!

 

[Ndocyk]

Here's another. It's hard to get a good picture because of the reflection.

 

[Stump Buster]

Knicely Done Ndocyk!!!

[Ndocyk]

Thanks guys. I'll start doing it for people if they're interested.

We're very lucky to have SO MANY great service providers and craftsmen to choose from here on Busse on BF...

I bought a blade that was reground by Nick, and I can vouch that he did an AWESOME job on it!

That tg was done on my old set up. New one is much better!

Outstanding work Sir!

Dang Nick, that looks good! Is that the thin model?

 

[Ndocyk]

Yes, it's the 3/16. This thing is laser sharp now. I love busse & kin designs and with improved cutting geometry it takes an already great knife to the next level.

You know when you make a modification to a knife, and then when you inspect it, you kind of nod your head and think hell yeah......this one has that kind of feel to it, like that's how it was meant to be. Nicely done

Very nice. I had a SARsquatch that I convexed a while back, about a year ago. The thread is still around I bet.

Have any advise for the tip?

 

[Ndocyk]

I can't really explain it. It took me years to really figure out, I just do it by feel. The way I do it the tip is still nice and strong and doesn't get thinned too much.

That is a great job you did! I have a 1/4in Ratweiler and would love to have it look like that. Well done!
