Thanks guys. I am getting ready to do a 10 knife run of a hunter pattern. Ed's got me a little concerned so I will do just one blade and heat treat it to see how it grinds post HT. Normally I taper the tang and bevel grind post HT.
I typically use O1 and I just bought some S35VN. I like to grind my bevels post heat treat and was looking for some input on post HT bevel grinding for the S35VN. I'll be using 3/16.
How will the S35VN grind post heat treat? I expect it will be tough, but still grindable. What type of...
O1 is 3/32", length is 11 1/2", blade is 7". I forgot to mention that the heat treat is by Brad at Peter's. Blade ground after heat treat using a cool mister to keep things cool:35:.
This is a cool idea and I am in for sure. Might be a good idea to form smaller regional groups for more remote areas and local groups in the bigger cities. This way the guys who just want to make knives can work with those willing to go and meet with the recruiters and the best of both worlds...
