You pretty much covered them all , one thing I haven’t heard mentioned is belt condition. If I try to bevel with a mostly worn out belt then I get a horrible bevel.A friend told me “ use your belts as if they are free don’t try to squeeze every grit out of them “.

The only thing I would add in the next video, is maybe how to keep the point of the knife bevel even with the area near the ricasso, and not sharpen itself with a distal taper the last 3/4 inch. Thx!

Little trick... why I always put a sharpening notch in my knives. It not only dictates where the plunge line goes, but helps the edge with the "Y" from swooping plunges. Not to mention, it helps when you need to sharpen your knives... Hope all is well, take it easy.

It just took me practice to learn how far to lean my blades , I do much better free handing because I could never get the lines straight trusting my equipment because if the table is one degree off my lines would be off , me personally do better trusting me instead of trusting my grinding equipment, just me personally, but thanks for giving the newbs good guidance, I wish I would have had good guidance when I started years back 😆

If your rest is 90 degrees to platen (line it always should be for this) there’s nothing else to trust. It doesn’t matter if the table is “off” as long as it’s square to the platen. It’s not for everyone, but I find it the easiest way for folks to learn. Thanhs for watching.

Thanks for the tip about the smiley, I didn't even know what to call that but it shows up every time while grinding. One other grinding tip I'd love to hear some advice on is not burning the point of the blade, I'm still one a 1x30 so its moving really fast. Is there anything other than just ensuring that the blade stays cool while working it?

what was that blue belt that you use called again? If I remember right, you use a cheap red one to get the scale off which destroys belts quickly, and a more expensive blue one for beveling do you also sharpen blades on a belt sander or do you just use a file?

@TyrellKnifeworks

Жыл бұрын

I use the blue “Incinerator” belts from Brodbeck. It’s best to take off scale with an angle grinder first. For sharpening I use either a Wicked Edge sharpening system or very recently have started using my 2x72 with a guide rail.

I’ve seen the grinding technique where you pull the knife away from the belt to match the curve of the knife. It clearly works, what I don’t understand is how. What happens if you just go straight the whole way?

@TyrellKnifeworks

If you go straight the whole way you will just have a straight bevel on the knife, no curve. It looks odd that way. Thanks for watching.

If you're really struggling with plunge cuts, you can always drag out the old chainsaw file and put them in that way as a reference. Personally I'm a fan of the file guide to do the initial plunge, but everyone's a bit different about what they like to use

@TyrellKnifeworks

I’ve never been a fan of the chainsaw file method. It takes a long time and doesn’t produce that great of a look in my opinion. The file guide is fine if you don’t use the rest. Since I do, it doesn’t work for me is all. Thanks for watching, Kris.

Great tutorial Brother! Besides the fact my belt grinder swinging a little (so I cant grind plunge nicely) I've been using your technique on Elven sword- works great and I totally recomend it:)! The glass platen you are using is exactly 2" wide? My platen is 55mm (around 2 1/4").. I was thinking to cutoff this extra 5 mm but sometimes it save my bevels from this annoying belt swinging. What do you think?

I would leave the platen and not try to shrink it. As long as you can track the belt right and left, don’t worry about it. If your belt wobbling, I would try to align your belt wheels a bit more. Maybe add a washer on one or something. Thanks for watching, David!

Do you ever use jigs to hold your knives while you grind? Like for example, if you wanted a nice straight plunge line, but the back edge of the knife isn't flat? Just curious, I'm all questions right now, haven't applied any knowledge to the craft yet

KnifePrint is a design program. You can start with one of the global stock knifes and customize it or start from scratch. It also has a great "trace" feature so if you see a knife you like, you can trace it into the app. I use it to store all my knife designs. Note, to export to PDF, you need the paid license.
