Hi guys,
I am looking to hear some thoughts on this. I Just watched Ray Ennis from Entrek Knives grind a knife on youtube and I was blown away, this master craftsmen gives his hole system away for free. I am going to try his methods and see how they work for me. Thank you so much Mr Ennis. If you haven't seen the four part series , I highly recommend it. Now I wanted to hear your guys thoughts on this. 1. Grinding after heat treat, is this a good thing to do , and is it going to make a good knife? 2. Grinding with the grits and speeds that he does, he states that as long as you dot go over 400 you are good, well how do you tell if you are bringing the steel that high and as fast as he grinds? I love the speed he grinds at, now he also has decades of experience too . These videos have totally change my way of thinking of knife making, I am brand new , but this does seem the way to go for me. I just wanted to hear your thoughts on this kind of knife making
Thanks guys and here are the links
