What size wheel did you grind the bevels on?

Thanks, guys. I used my 8" wheel, but I stopped maybe 1/8" short of the spine, so the grind is similar to the 8/8s I've done. It's more like a half hollow. With how thin I'm grinding the edge now, the razor has a little more auditory feedback than you might expect on a big heavy blade. They sharpen so much more easily if you get the edge down to just .001" or .002". There's just not much steel to remove at that point.

He'd e-mailed me a while back, and I couldn't put him off any longer.

Note: The spacer is buffalo horn, not ox horn.

Perfect couple. A chopper & a trimmer
