I’ll be the first to admit my flat grinds need to get a lot better

Yeah I can definitely understand that point too! Once the scratches from the belt grinder are gone things normally move along pretty quickly

I was actually thinking about starting handsanding at 320 until all of my machine scratches are gone then finishing with 400 straight pulls

Hey guys like many of my fellow knifemakers I HATE HANDSANDING! It’s so tedious and it honestly can be soul crushing if I working on a batch of blades. Typically I take my blades up to a 600 grit hand satin. It’s clean and seems like a good working finish. My question to you guys is what’s wrong...

Yep same here there’s nothing better than getting into a work flow and busting your butt all day long!

Hey can we see a picture of your magnetic storage bar? I’m curious as to what that looks like

Man I’m not sure yet. I’m thinking a diamond grind but we will see

Yeah I’m a bit nervous about that lol i might try and work up a jig but I’m undecided at this point

Oh...........well I still think Daniel should get it :p

I’d like to throw my hat in the ring for tactical fixed blades. This is an 80crv2 Kukri I made last year it has a cerakote finish and black g10 for the handle material with stainless pins. Thanks for your consideration :)

Woah! thanks for the nomination @Daniel Macina but I started making knives in 2017 which disqualifys me from receiving this award..............however this seems like the perfect opportunity to nominate @Daniel Macina its been awesome to watch him really sink his teeth into this craft. When I...

Dang that looks sharp!

Where do you get the scotch brute pads ? And do you do straight pulls or back and forth? I’ve gotta try this!
