Thats wonderful to hear thank you ~Peace~

Love your diplomacy. Art of in any kind is subjective and a learning process. It really bothers me when I see people downing others who are just not as far along or going a different direction than they. I believe in encouraging not discouraging. This is in my opinion how we progress as a species. Thank you 🙏

R2 Wood here... Fantastic to get this info from Nic out there for all to see. Being an owner of many of his tools and many chats, I was familiar with the bevel geometry parts but never knew about the crowning with bent steel. Fascinating stuff! Thanks Zed and Nic, and extra thanks for the shout out to the Bodgers org.

I only learnt about the crowning effect a couple of years ago, so you're not the only one who wasn't aware of it. Credit to Nic for his planning around how he was going to talk about it and do a demo of the forging to really highlight it ~Peace~

Oh, thank you! Finally, someone got down to the subject and did so reliably. A pleasure to watch myself, I'm eager to see more Greetings from Poland

Great video and very good of Nic to share his knowledge and skills. Also can see his thought and attention to detail that make his tools the ‘gold standard’ in the craft.

Hi Zed. I have been following you for a long time. You make great videos with craftsmen who do their job well. The videos you shot with Nic are also outstanding. Nic is a very talented craftsman. And he's not shy about sharing his knowledge. This is very valuable. I am grateful to you and Nic for sharing this valuable information. I am a craftsman living in Turkey. I'm into wood carving and tool making. I hope to meet both you and Nic one day. Best..

I've been sharpening and carving for most of my life. I learned something about sharpening hook knives today, something I had never considered before. Thank you.

Great video as always, I've made a couple of hooks myself, they work but to a point where you wonder is it cutting or scraping ? This will definitely help with the next one. Thankyou both for taking the time.

That's good to hear! We were unsure about putting that in, but without a bit of forging it would have been very dry.

Always great to watch your videos, Zed. I was hoping somewhere in these two it might be mentioned what sort of edge angle is optimal for a spoon knife though! I’m guessing somewhere between 20 and 25? but I was hoping to see how Nic gets consistent and accurate edge angles on these knives… seems like that part of the process was completely skipped… of course, lots of other great info, as always, so thanks again.

@Zedoutdoors

Hi Paul, I appreciate your kind words and for watching. Regarding the edge angle on a spoon knife, unless I am mistaken it is usually between 25-27, if Nic reads this he can hopefully clarify. Regarding how Nic gets consistent edge angles on his spoon knives, that is out of the remit of this video as this video is only focused on the theory relating to edge geometry ~Peace~

Edge angle is dependent on the steel you are using and wood you expect to be carving, it's generally going to be the same for a straight knife, but in reality you can grind a slightly shallower angle, as despite your best efforts you always get a bit of rounding in the outside, as Zed said though no specifics this was just theory , the application is up to you. Make one, test it then refine .

@paulkozowyk

@@nicwestermann4206 great, thanks for your response! Indeed, I have been experimenting, but it is hard to measure the angles on my ready made ones because of the convexity. I find I keep gravitating to a Pfeil that has a very acute angle. I don’t have the equipment to make a lot to compare, or re grind bevels easily, so having a starting point in mind is already a big help. T

Thanks once again for a great video! May I ask, are you two related? I've been thinking about this crowning problem for a while and was presuming this needed to be done, but never seen anyone explain it before. Much appreciated!
