Trade point

(1/4) > >>

JesseBeaux:
Hey guys,

I've been making some nice Trade points from older saw blades lately and they come out real nice! However, I can't get the darn things sharp.... Tried single and tried double bevel! Tried file, Stone, and Lansky system.... Nothing working for me.... Any advice?

JesseBeaux:
Trad*** stupid auto correct

ntvbowyer1969:
I use a grinder coarse wheel first then fine wheel.touch up with file. I always get them cutting paper sharp.

Mafort:
Sounds like your bevel degree is off. Had the same issue with some blue steel trade points I have. I changed it and they became hair popping sharp. Of course I’m probably wrong in this assumption

DC:
If you ground them with a power grinder you may have taken the temper out, if it had any to start with.
