Not tedious at all. You're showing some excellent tricks I never thought of doing as a hobbyist.

I still need to finish grind these. This will refine the bevels and make sure they are even on the blade. I will take pics when I do that. I hope this is not getting to boring. There is a lot of tedium making knives. This is one reason I try to have more than one project going. It allows me to do different processes when I get tired of one. That's it for today. View Quote HELL no! I recently got a bench grinder and handheld grinder and am anxious to get started making my own! Thanks for these tutorials! I didn't know it took these many steps, I'm glad to follow you in this project! |

Have not forgotten about this thread. I spent the day trying to get more knives ready for Heat Treat. It will probably be Wednesday before I get it done. Thanks for keeping up with the thread.

View Quote This is an awesome thread- I've been a knife guy since my dad gave me a jack knife when I was 5...my tastes have changed a bit so this thread is right on point |

Thanks for walking us through the process. I'm sure I'm not the only one who is fascinated by it.

Very cool thread, thanks for posting this!
Do you have a website or somewhere you sell your knives? |
|
Unfortunately I cannot afford to pay for a commercial account. I will PM my website info if you desire.
Thank you for all the kind words and the continued interest. |

Did not make any progress today. Spent the day re-organizing making room for a Panto-graph. Been wanting one for years and a student just purchased one for me. WOOO HOOO. Will get more done on Wednesday. Have to help build a house Tuesday.

Well one of the drawbacks of being the sole operator is when stuff comes up I have to take care of it. I had some unexpected situations arise that prevented me from getting too much accomplished this week. I did however get the rest of the blades I heat treated finished to the etch. I still need to parkerize them but they are ready. Here are the blades ready for parkerizing including the 2 I have already done. I have a ton of work ahead of me. http://i1081.photobucket.com/albums/j351/Chuck_Richards/Knife%20Projects/0227161449_zpstdxkixf4.jpg To make up for the lack of posting I will show you how one way I test my heat treat. Here is a blade before the test. Pay particular attention to the tip. http://i1081.photobucket.com/albums/j351/Chuck_Richards/Knife%20Projects/0227161303a_zpswn06e8ni.jpg Next hold it point down by the tang. http://i1081.photobucket.com/albums/j351/Chuck_Richards/Knife%20Projects/0227161303b_zpsiiyo3gw0.jpg Now drop it onto the concrete floor point first. http://i1081.photobucket.com/albums/j351/Chuck_Richards/Knife%20Projects/0227161303c_zpsvlumwhn1.jpg Now inspect the point. If all is well there will be no effect on the blade. If it is to soft it will bend or deform, too hard it will either chip or even break the blade. This one turned out well. http://i1081.photobucket.com/albums/j351/Chuck_Richards/Knife%20Projects/0227161304_zpsecxu3pw5.jpg Hopefully I get more into the assembly and final finish this week. I have a show this coming weekend. Plus I have promised 2 knives for the church youth group fundraiser on Saturday. I will be spending some serious extra time in the shop this week.
