You mastered the knives' handles making! Do you grind them after you glue them on the knife or sepparately? If the answer is "on the knife", how do you avoid metal scratching? Oh, don't answer me if you have to kill me after this ;D

Rocks choose their owners, but they allow us the joy of believing to the contrary.

Adrian, I rough grind to shape, leaving slightly larger. Then I sand down to the metal. sanding the metal along with the stone doesn't hurt it. I go all the way up to 50,000 grit diamond. Then I put the metal on a buffing wheel with polishing compound. Any scratches are gone. Then I add Brasso polish to the bolsters. I never toudh the blades. I tape them up with painters tape.
Now that I have to kill you, I hope you have a good life insurance policy for your wonderful family.
Ken

rocknrob: That was one heck of a windstorm that thankfully missed me. I guess Seatac almost hit 60mph gusts. I bet those were some fun landings Nov 20, 2024 21:55:16 GMT -5
