You guys are funny. I'm surprised neither of you want the 39 Chevy street rod that's next to the Camino.

I love how kind you appear to be. Hahaha. But you didn't say which one.

You guys said you don't mind looking at a mess. This mess is mine. I need less stuff.

I've a customer (male) who has bought a pink hunter for every female in his family. So far I've sold him seven pink knives. I try to have one on my table at shows.

Bruce the heat treat plays a part in the flexibility but it's more the thinness of the grind. I have my Aeb-l heat treated at the Buck knife factory (Paul Bos) to Rc62. The reason for doing this was because it had a slight bend 2 inches from the tip. Normally if you grind the other side you...

This .070 AEB-L santoku has a 7.5 inch edge. It warped both lengthwise and edge to spine. I didn't have too much problem with the lengthwise warp but I chased the the other until it disappeared. That means it it thin.

This guy! The first link is tooling, second is a video with milling showing speeds in the comments. https://www.instagram.com/p/CKCMhybD8P3/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link https://www.instagram.com/p/CGiRxKNj5e3/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

I do the same as Ed. 3.07 oz, 2 3/4 inch blade. New prototype.

Reads funny, but it may be uncomfortable.

Years ago Bruce Bump did a wip on how he did it.

Thanks Ed.

Ed, will you share your process for cleaning the blades before applying both applications of Gunkote?

So what is the advantage of doing a frame at that point?

I sharpen on the slack belt behind my small wheel attachment with the belt in reverse. And slow! On my grinder (Bader3) holding the blade level the angle of the belt puts me between 15-17 degrees per side.

Because I've been kicked around by the blades last week (bendy san mai & Damascus delam) I decided I needed to do something different. I needed a dedicated pin peening hammer. I have had the head for 20 + years but needed a handle. Polished ball and a Koa handle. 3.22 oz.

I'm unable to answer that. For me giving a product guarantee is good but not good enough. My expectation is not to have any come backs and I will do anything I can to make that happen. Including pitching $$ of steel in the trash. I did a short vid for a blacksmith guild of me bending the...

After heat treat as ground the blade is still bendable. No surprise. I broke it in the vise. It snapped like you expect. The surprising thing is I sharpened the remaining 1/3 of the blade and it holds a good edge. Nothing I could sell. But after beating a piece of walnut it still shaved hair.

Thanks all for the replies. While it isn't the first crappy thing I've bought it doesn't make me happy. Live and learn.

That was kind of what I was thinking. It sucks though. Totally not a product I could put forth to a customer. And I have several pieces. It's in the temper oven so we'll see if it changes.
