I was sharpening a convex on a slack belt facing into the belt once, I won’t ever do that again. Rolled my pinky between belt and knife. Tip of my pinky didn’t win that battle. I wish my grinder would run in reverse. Is that a Pheer you’re running. Looks like mine.

There’s just something about perfect angles on the edge pro I can’t part with. And especially with diamond stones it can be extremely quick.

It’s crazy how which edge of the paper you cut makes such a difference. When you can cut any side of the paper you’re beyond sharp.

Hi Mike, you’re my hero dude. Without your tutorials I would not be able to journey down this knife making path. It’s still frustrating and challenging as hell but that’s because I keep rushing through the process. I’ve learned to slow down instead of being impatient and rushing which causes A LOT of mistakes. Anyway, I wish you would come back and let us know how you’re doing and what you’re up to nowadays. All the best to you and the family and hopefully you’re doing well and succeeding in everything you do. Take care my brother from a different mother.

I'm a knife maker and I feel that some customers are chasing the method instead of the end result. When it comes to free hand grinding or jig grinding the end result is what you pay for.

Belmont metal works makes a 9" disk that has a 1 degree bevel which lets you work on longer piece's(when you cross the center it wont grab). The down side it everything you grind end up with a slight concave but its insignificant for most makers. Think they said of the width of a 2" blade you would have a concave that's .0001" basically your hand isn't able to hold it that flat anyway on a normal flat disk. Just thought id share.

What size wheel is that? Also how do you bring the finish up to say 600 or higher grit? Are you hand sanding or using belts all the way?

Dear Mike, I've been watching a lot of videos on KZread about folding knife making for about a year now. In general, everything is very weak - the videos are of the same type and demonstrate primitive skills and technologies. KZread recently recommended your channel and I almost went crazy with joy! Finally the Lord heard my prayers! For the first time I saw the technological process in great detail + cool design. I urgently subscribed to your channel (+ to your Instagram). I thank you for what you do + I admire the dynamic design of your knives + I respect your skill! Konstantin (Ukraine).

I do all my grinding with home made jigs. I dont mind dipping my jigged knife because my jigs are like 10% the size of yours. I would not be able to use such a large and awkward jig as you have. A simple piece of angle iron and a few bolts and screws is all you need. I really don't care what anyone thinks. I proudly show my jigs to anyone that visits my shop.

The knife sharpener arrived quickly and in good condition kzread.infoUgkxDcr-y2Pf6xdnrFHrSP7dl9kpKaCozcSQ I was happy to see that that packaging was easy to open. I did not need a chain saw to get into the package.The sharpener was smaller than I expected but that might turn out to be and advantage because it will be much easier to store than my old sharpener. The instructions on the package were simple and concise; perfectly adequate for this product. I liked that the two slots were labeled with "Course" and "Fine" on both sides of the sharpener. Now, how does it work? It's fantastic. A few swipes of the knife through the two slots and the knife was sharper than when it was new. The rubber surface on the bottom held it in place while sharpening. I thought the small size might be a problem but it was not a problem at all. In fact, I prefer it to the larger sharpeners I have used in the past. On top of that, the small size makes it very easy to store.I love it and highly recommend it.

You can also turn a carbide bit backwards in a mill or drill press to press in a detent ball (if you have one bigger than your feeler gage hole), if you don't want a two-step method.
