Making and sharpening knive (my way)
      #296659 - 09/03/17 07:07 PM

I have been makeing quite a few knives lately and of course when done they need sharpened.

This was the pattern I made for a set of pig stickers for the local hunters





There were a couple of others I did at the same time

This is a video of how I sharpen them from the .015 thick edge that they end up after grinding and hand sanding.

G'day mate,
was wondering when you'd chime in again.
can you let us know in a bit more detail the type of steel & a few tricks along the way if you can please?
Had a look at Damasteel (modern Damascus steel) & was really impressed at the samples! I am going to try a crack at making my own knife (really like your templates actually!), but try something a little more simple first before using something more complex & expensive as Damasteel!
Cheers

First I built the 2x72 grinder which was an interesting project in itself.

This is the wapiti knife I just designed for a guy here in NZ



And one with a bit added to it for a guy in the US



I can do a bit more of a thread on the grinder and making the knives if there is interest. I had posted it on other forums but wasn't sure about posting it here.
