Well, it looks like it is the same as CTS XHP http://www.alphaknifesupply.com/zdata-bladesteelS-CTSXHP.htm quite well known steel, Spyderco makes some knives out of it, shouldn't be very hard on belts, as there is almost no vannadium in it As for availabilty, sb specialty metals sells it...

Thanks for feedback, I wanted it to look good and gave it to powder painting shop, cost was about $15 for this, guys did good job, but I didn't realized that because of quite thick paint layer there is almost no clearance left between the inner wall of tool bar holder and toll bar itself, I had...

Hi, everybody just wanted to post a video of my new grinder, based on NWG plans bought from BossDog. It is welded together and I chose to make the swivel arm to have one versatile instrumental arm. The contact wheel is simple castor polyurethane wheel, that is what I could buy locally in...
