Hey guys, I have asked about clips and swedges before but I am still running into some problems that I believe should not be this hard.
I am trying to make knives that have a full flat grind and then a false swedge/clip like a fighter. The problems I am having is that when I go to make the swedge it comes out uneven and not nice. The way I have been going about it is set up and scribe the normal cutting edge to about .02 and then scribe the swedge to .015 - .02.
I will then do the bevels and finish to 400 grit and then try the swedge. BUt sometimes it looks uneven or if it does look even the lines where the swedge grind meets the flat grind doesn't look crisp and even like everyone else's. All grinding is done free hand.
A good process or thoughts would be much appreciated.
