Be sure to check out Brodbeck Ironworks and their assortment of useful grinder attachments! Also let me know what Your Edge video you would like to see next!

Also. I rarely comment on anything. However, I'd very much like to thank you, Matt, Ilya, and Chris for unknowingly mentoring me for the past few years! Specifically, Matt for giving me the confidence to grind freehand! Ilya for the historical information, the confidence to forge more and grind less. Not to mention, in order to be pretentious one must be good. I can't wait to be pretentious! And thanks Chris for your knowledge and examples that brute strength is a valuable commodity.

Just 1 Month ago, I made my first knife, under guidance though, and I handgrinded everything. And by that I mean ONLY handgrinding. There wasn't even a powertool in the workshop. I so desperatly wished for some kind of machine. It's ridiculous how annoying that was, so you must have the patience of an angel or something, considering the grinds you have shown on this channel.

It's interesting how many different types of wheels and platerns you need, you would really need to run a production line where you would be saving time changing wheels etc in the the process 😉

Having multiple grinders is def a plus!

Are the platen plunges made in carbide or traditional steel? I have seen some attachments made out of carbide and I can already tell from small experience that it was a mistake to not purchase that upgrade. My platens and guards already have wear lines in them from work.

Matt, would a waterfall platen also help to keep the line between the bevel and the flat top area straight? That's an area I still struggle with. I'm wondering if being able to grind the whole length of the blade at once would help make that straighter/cleaner, in addition to the plunge benefits.

@ThatWorks

11 ай бұрын

WHy do you ask that?

I think a big key for safety is to deliberately come onto the platen with the tip slightly up and then drop it to the belt once the plunge is on the waterfall. If you lose focus and accidentally come in even slightly tip down, you could get a knife to the chest. At least it would be the handle… I say this because I’m 100% sure I’d make that mistake at some point (ok I see you covered it at the end)

@fieryiceforge

@timjohle8876 Matt did not discuss tensioning the belt in video. But it should only have a light tensioning and light pressure used on a slow setting. You should have both hands on the knife at all times as well. Should a belt split, in theory you should be able to pull the knife away from the machine. But indeed it is important to be as safe as possible when using a belt grinder in general.

Sword of Aeons: Fable the Lost Chapters

Still looks dangerous. I guess in time I’d get used to it

Children - there is absolutely NO SUCH THING as cheating. To even harbor that thought is foolish. Since the beginning of time, anyone crafting anything used whatever means possible to make a better creation. "Knife making is tooling". Period. How can you consider "hand crafting" when using an electric variable speed grinder in the first place? You're only fooling yourself.
