Dude. I've been making knives for 12 years now, and your vids are some of the best refresher tutorials I've come across. Good Job.

Great tutorial. I have been wondering how to this exact stuff for some time now as a beginner in knifemaking and this was eye-opening. Thank you so much! Subbed.

Great video because you are a very good teacher. We can see your process very clearly. Thanks

What you been up to, I miss your videos brother

THANKS! Very timely because I'm working on some chef's knives for my sisters right now, and on the first one I ground it flat to the spine on the belt sander and decided never to try that again! I've got bevels on the second one and wasn't sure what to do next. I wanted to blend it but wasn't really sure how to proceed. NOW I KNOW!!!

Great vid, Mike. I've been making chef knives with a convex bevel, just because I don't have the skill to do what you just showed. I'm working on one now. I think I'll go back and attempt to follow your instructions, and thin the blade more into a flat grind. Hopefully I can apply your technique with at least some degree of improvement. Thanks again. Forrest

This is exactly the video I needed. Thank you!

Nice video, great job,thanks Mike.

Well done sir. I'm bummed to see how few views you get on your videos. You're just as informative as the guys getting half a million+ views, and I really like your down-to-earth presentation. I only started making knives a couple months ago, and watching channels like yours is very inspiring to get out to the shop and practice.

i am sure this is because people only want to watch short vids and not like that one of ekim giving ALL what they should now

Sure happy I stumbled across your videos! Good stuff man!! Thank you for the in depth info!!! Have a good one

Look at that smile at the end. I think it's therapeutic for me to watch your videos. Sorry I left the island we would have had a lot in common brother

Great video....you can achieve excellent results if you're willing to put in the time. I've never been able to pull off a perfect grind straight off the grinder so for me hand sanding is a necessity.

What a useful video. Thank you for making this. It really helped my technique.

Damn you're good!

Great video Mike thank you!

Great tutorial..thank you

Thank you sir!

Dope as hell

Thanks for the info. Do you have or use a knife vise for finishing? A standard vise work great for some things but when I work on knife handles, there is nothing like a good knife vise.

Great video Mike, keep up the good work! -Dave

Thanks for a great video. How do you put the final edge on the kitchen knife?

Do you ever use your surface conditioning belts for final finish?

What size and type of steel did you start with? Are you heat treating with steel foil? What degree bevel did you grind into the steel with the machine before you did the hand sanding?

Awesome vid, Mike! How thick was your stock to start with vs finished on this one? Love it!

this is on my short list. just got some aebl steel. going to try this next. what steel are u using for your chef knives?

hi there what steel did you use and did you heat treat and then temper the knife

Is this the blade that I purchased Mike?

Cool,cool

LOL you sure it's not the mother ship, hovering over your house, that's making your lights flicker?

+Joseph Rector Lol just take your time with it and when in doubt do it by hand for maximum control. You'd be surprised at how good you can make your blades look with some hand work.

+EKIM1428 I always end up with waves in the middle of my bevel, the grind line ain't to bad, but you can see multiple waves (lack of a better word) in the bevel, hard to feel if at all easy to see, still I wonder considering it my second set of bevels it it kicks my first one ass..

men noticed u posting blunt wake they say it is because u believe man comes from another planet

i like you
