Rounded spine

[Freds Edge]

I was wondering how rounding the spine was done , is there any preference ? Grinder , hand file ,etc.

I use the slack grinder to round it.

+1 on the slack belt.

I grind 45 degree bevels, then (you guessed it) slack belt...

Another + slack belt!!! :50:

I think I will try slack belt.

I knock off the edges with a stiff belt 60-120 grit, then I round with a 120 grit super flex belt. I then leave it at 120 grit so you have a little traction with your off hand or your fingers etc.

I actually round mine by rolling the spine from side to side on the platen on my grinder, and I do it at every grit. Same with the ricasso if it isn't a knife with a dropped edge.
