I'm kicking out between 2-4 knives a week lately and I find that I tend to roll a certain way. I invariably whack a semi or totally finished blade flat with a belt, usually a heavy grit one at that, during either cleaning up tang tapers, rounding bolsters, etc. It's become a routine that I add to almost every knife, it seems. Over the last few weeks I've gotten pretty good at fixing the results. I do tape the blades with two layers of black gorilla duct tape after final hand sanding and first buffing while the handles are finished, but I just can't resist beating up the ricasso or grabbing a corner of the spine. Anyone else have a signature screw up that makes your knives special?
