first edger blade knife!
El Destructo:
Nice looking Pair you got there Pat....your hooked!!!
Pat B:
Thanks Mike. Yeah, I am. Now I need a good, small, cheap forge to heat metal for tempering and annealing.
jonathan creason:
Looking good, Pat. Those boxwood scales do look awesome. One suggestion I might make is to make your bevel go higher up the blade. My first several were like you've got there and while they'll take a good edge they're not the most efficient cutters. The knife dogs and blade forums have a ton of good info.
Pat B:
On the smaller knife I did bring the bevel higher on the blade than the forst one. I'm using files to work these down and I could tell after I tempered the smaller one that it was still not enough. While I was working it it felt good.
Do I just Google..."knife dog and blade forum"?
El Destructo:
Pat...this should help you out............
