Welcome to KD! Nice looking folder! That lock is interesting, is it a shark lock (demko design), super lock (scnecx design), or something different you came up with on your own?
Looks great! Seems pretty reflective right now... But I agree a satin finish would be nice on that one too.
And I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who works in crocs :D
I've reground a couple of those blade styles... It was developed by Tom Brown in his Tracker knife (for bushcraft) if I'm not mistaken.
One important thing to pay attention to when grinding is the transition... Don't do it like they have it in the pic or it will snag and not cut an thing...
Hmmm... Does it only happen with certain belts? And if so which belts (and grit level) did u you experience it on? I also wet grind and most 120 grit ceramics tend to want to cup out at the edges, causing the outer edges of the belt to gouge into the blade when you first make contact.
It just takes practice... Subtle changes in pressure to get what you want. Also you need to make sure your platen is flat that can cause some issues sometimes, although I don't think it will cause what you pictured.
Saw this recently, may be of help to some of you guys who do Damascus and don't have a full size one
*edit: woops wrong forum, @BossDog could you please move? Thanks and sorry
You can get a cheap small one from home depot for $100-200, but you will have to blast a bit then wait for it to fill the small tank again before you can continue. It works though
Thus the problem with g/flex and blade pro epoxy... I think I'm gonna switch to a good quality ca glue. CA will release with heat (250f) - epoxies won't. Otherwise you could just heat and press the pins out
