Dude, you gotta try a 2 by 72.... the pulleys work awesome so that’s $1000 bucks you can save right there on the VFD. I simply had no clue of just how much more precise it is.

All I pretty much do is hollow grind, and I got to say Kevin you did REALLY good for your first one.

Thank you, sir! That means a lot coming from you!

 

[Justin W.]

wow!!

I think I still have the first couple blades I ever ground on a 2x72. they’re in my scrap bucket.

I sold mine but now I wish that I didn't! Yikes they were bad

 

[KenH]

Kevin, that's impressive, even if it was the 10th blade it still looks good. For 1st grind WOW!!!

 

[Smallshop]

Wow!...straight as a pin! Good job! All the "wax on...wax off" with files prepared you for your first hollow grind!

 

[Gliden07]

Once you get that hollow established I think there easier than a flat grind. Nice looking grind Kev!

Thanks, guys!

I'm not hatin' that blade shape. Finish that out and make something cool. Its got a 'chef santoku meets pirate cutlass' thing going on. That sort of different is the kind of thing that sells well.

 

[DanF]

That is incredible for a first of any type.

 

[Robert66]

Love the clean lines, brilliant.

I am a relative newbee.

I would like a 2 x 72 but knife making for me is purely non profit, my knives are mostly imperfect and sold to shooting friends for my fav charity, I do have 4 reasonable ones in stock, my friends keep advising selling on eBay but I am thick on computers.

I'll be right over. I can only imagine .
