Thread: Greves & Sons 8/8

There sounds like some proprietary information here as to settiing the bevel 'profile.' I'm fine with keeping professional secrets but if it is not a secret, what are you saying? Also, I was probably, like many, stunned by the amount of pitting. I am not a fan of pitting. Finally, on first glance I thought you 'softened' up the makers mark on the shank but saw that it was just a little out of focus...in another pic it is still deep and has 'crispy edges.' It will be a terrific save once completed.

Yes, I was also intrigued by the 'set the bevel profile' and would like to know more.

Also, am I right in assuming that there was a re-grind involved or is it all down to hand sanding?
