It is. I bought it when I was a bit young thinking if I ever get a wild hair and make a sword I have what I need to heat treat it. I should of bought a smaller one. But hey you live and learn right.

Well I got threw the day with no shop fires and with any luck 3 newly heat treated blades. These are O1 tool steel. I used a formula off line and that someone gave me as guidelines. I'm hoping they turn out alright. Only time will tell.

You use it to make the ideal concavity (I think that is the right word.) For an "S" grind which is supposed to be a great grind for chef knives.

Which is how?

I am flirty with the idea of making a beard cleaver. I have a question tho I've seen a few cleaver with the face edge being sharpen is there a practical reason for this? Also how thick should I go with it? What kind of steel makes a better cleaver? Thanks any input will be helpful.

I was told to look for John Barker's tutorial on tampering tangs but I can't seem to find it does anyone just have the link. Or link to a good video or something I have a knife that needs to be done and the only one I've ever did was years ago under extreme supervision from a mentor. Thanks

Ok I can sharpen a blade to shave but I seem to have problems when it comes to the tip of the blade. I sometimes roll it over. How can I improve my sharping cause knives in tips to poke things.

Well this little pocket knife is something a client had me clean up and sharpen so it shaves. Then I got some handle material all glued up and hopefully to come out good, so I can have some custom knife scales.

Good luck you be in my prayers
