A+ on the jig i have been trying to think of a way to insure a consistant grind on some of my projects and that jig you have has given me some ideas. thanx!

One of the best grinding vids I have ever seen. I subscribed instantly just on the strength of the one video. Bravo.

Great video, sir. Nice tutorial on grinding big flat grinds!

just needed a look at your setup, now I can start hollow grinding my knives :)

GREAT VIDEO I USED TO BE IN THE BELT BUSINESS IN THE UK A SUGGESTION FOR YOU IS PUT A BUCKET OF WATER UNDER THE CONTACT WHEEL THIS REDUCES SPARK DUST ON THE FLOOR, AND MAKE YOUR BELT A WET ONE , YOU ONLY NEED A SPONGE NEAR THE BACK OF THE BELT WITH A SMALL SUPPLY OF WATER ON IT THE BELT LOOKS DRY BUT IS IN FACT DAMP THIS HELPS A LOT WHEN GRINDING KNIFE BLADES

Really beautiful grind!

Cool video thanks for the tips !

man it must be pretty cool making homemade knifes :)

very interesting cool i wish i had some of those tools n machineries .........nice work

FANTASTIC, I hope if you have time you might do a video on buffing and finishing the blade. For example putting that mirror finish on the blade etc. I haven't seen any of that in here, please share more with us.....Thnaks

Great jig for grinding. I will make one for my shop too. :)

Nice work!

I have that same Wilton square wheel grinder. How do I get the hollow grind attachment? I need a jig to help keep my grind at the ricaso (Spelling ?) even on both sides. Do you sell that jig or tell me where to get one. ThanksGordon

Very cool, thanks for sharing the video :O)

would love a vid on how you made that jig!

Amazing skills.

Thanks for making this video my friend. Short sweet and well done. Clay

That jig is awesome

I really enjoyed watching you make the fixed blade damascus / mammoth tooth handle knife. I use lots of klingspore yellow belts for finishing handles they would work awesome for tooth. They are a very low priced belt but have a nice stretch to them for working in the slack belt mode. Its one of about 10 different types of belts I use. I get them from jantz but tracey mickley has them too for a great price. Try them out youll like um . kellyw

nice video. I like the hollow grind jig

Nice grinding machines. But here in Finland smith uses hammer and anvil to make blades. Then final sharpening is done with wet grinding wheel.

Thanks for the comment man! As for your question, I don't change the grits on that machine. I only use a 36 grit belt to hog out the material. All finish work afterwards is done by hand on my bader III. I would try just making some marks on the jig assembly to get it back in the same position. Hope this helps ya out!

"... don't wanna get it too hot and work harden that steel... " great job bud

@MrRavishraven That one is old school... I don't think you can buy them any more? You can find similar models in any knifemaking supply catologue though... Try "Jantz Supply" or "Texas Knifemaking Supply". Thanks for watching!

If you don't mind, can you tell us where you got your bevel jig attachment??? That thing is AMAZING!!!!!

@okkrom Tapering the tang is a basic function of balance. I takes weight off the handle, and can give a large knife a better feel. It also offers some aesthetic appeal. Good luck on your knife project! Let me know if you have any more questions!

Great video, in the second sander do you eliminate or convex?

Good video Sir.

I wonder if this jig would work for flat grinding if you angle your platen?

Thanks for the video

What is the advantage of a flat grind over a hollow grind?

Hey mate loved your video what grade of steel are you using thanks from down under

Hi,could you show in closer view this jig?I cant get the way it works.

What direction are you running the belt? I guess the sparks say reverse

Did you make that jig or purchase it somewhere?

I only have a bench grinder what do you think I should do?

Very cool. Chuck

I'm right here, dude.

what king of material/steel you used for the knife.,any info please?

@rjsahadi Thanks for the kind words!! Did you watch any of my other knifemaking vids? I can make just about anything you can dream up! I'll be posting more vids in the future too! Hope to hear back from ya! Later.

Were did you get that grinder?

I make knives by hand also. I am wondering what the machine is you''re using for the hollow grind. It is VERY nice. Much better than the sander I've been using.

@gofigurewashington Just sheet copper/brass. You can get it from any knifemakers supply. Check out Jantz supply.

Thank you sir.

Thanks for sharing

What type machine are you using here? I know it is basically a belt grinder, but it looks like a special type made just for knife work. The jig you are using is the bomb too, what is it, did you make the jig?

Who sells that jig attachment?

muito legal seu gabarito obrigado por compartilhar

I was told by the man that designed that jig that it will work flat grinding. I haven't tried it though. \

Did you just try to screw on the top of a sharpie that pops on?

@cdx83 To be honest with you, I hated that project... Another crazy Dan-D design I guess... Thanks for watching. l8r

@ARCustomKnives You know I never thought of using the platen, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. I just want to hog that material out, so I start with a hollow grind.

@yasennikov Best of luck on your knife shop!

I'd leave the hollow grind as it is at around 3:30, maybe extend it about a quarter inch up to the spine. The blade appears to be tougher and more shockresistant that way compared to the flat grind you're showing. What's your opinion on that?

I Just set this jig up on my bader. How do you change the belts in between grits and set the jig up right where you had it before? And to all of you asking about the yelling.... the machine is very loud.

Where can i buy the grinding jig?

@COBladesmith80 Wondering if you sell those jigs? I'd be interested in getting a hold of one for my shop.

Nice video. What is that machine that you are using to put on the hollow grind? It looks like a high end belt sander. How much are they and where can they be purchased? Thanks for any response.

It appears to be a Wilton. I think it might be called the square wheel. Just look up 2x72" belt sanders. All kinds will come up.

what jig is that?

Not the sharpie but what you use to have correct line to mark. But the flat gauge, do you have a link where to buy please? Or the correct name order to search correctly. Thanks

do you have a website?

Com uma máquina destas faço uma industria de facas! Aqui no Brasil cutelaria virou passa tempo de rico, para se ter uma destas máquinas em uma oficina de um verdadeiro artesão, aquele que nasceu com o dom, se não for filho de rico, não compra, deve custar uns 5 mil dólares. Outra; por aqui estão cobrando duzentos e tantos dólares por 3 metros desta fita de lixar!!

Hey bro, do you have a website where you sell your knives? Would love to check out some of our work, plus I'm in the market for a good woodsman blade...

What are you shouting?

Just found you, my friend; just subscribed. Boo-ee, Bow-ee... Makes no difference in the pronunciation, we all know what/whom you're talking about. A lot of the pronunciation has to do with geographical location, not sexual preference. Great job; great video!

technically not a bladesmith,who would use a hammer and anvil to shape steel, blade maker or knifemaker would be more accurate. Anywho, nice video and nice knife.

why you yelling

dam the knives are ugly like hell
