Thank you. That was very helpful.

I did view some 1x30 belt with built in 5" Sanders on amazon. As this is my first knife and I am still waiting on my materia, I wanted to make sure I would enjoy this before I dropped too much money but the 40 to 60 bucks seems like one of those no harm no foul situations. Thanks for the advise...

Thanks guys

I am interested in learning how to make knives but have no idea where to start. I have been reading threads on here for a few days and have gained alot of knowledge. I know that I will probably start with stock removal. I want to start with something small. Other than that I do not know what...

I am so new that I have never actually made a blade. I am trying to do research to see how to begin. That being said I learned a lot from this entire presentation. Thank you.
