KNIFE MAKER
So after many months of grinding....i have decided to try grinding my small cowboy knives on my CNC mill. I hope to be able to have something by Christmas.
This is my biggest sticking point for my plan of "semi production" for this knife. because I plan on making many of these it is the only way to get my consistency down. I can grind some days effortlessly...and other days...I just turn off the grinder cause there ain't no magic...lol. Not a good business model...lol.
I have ideas that will require much experimentation....don't know if i can get there...I have a 3 axis mill....and I think a 5 axis mill is probably what the production places use.
My son's Bench Made is what got me thinking about it. It is definitely done with a wheel and I think CNC. A couple guys on this forum use a manual mill and hard wheel for pocket knife blades.(yes...i can tell...lol)
This would be my last real challenge to making limited production knives....
My goal is to give one to the Christmas knife swap....pressure...lol!
