Thread: Putting an 'edge' on a blunt 'blank'

Hi all,
I purchased 4 Dorko 444 blade blanks, as I know that Dorko has a high quality metal and I thought I could put an edge on these and create some great scales. However, putting an edge on these has been problematic. For those that don't know what a 'blank' is, it's a blade that has not had any work on putting an 'edge' on it. Basically a virgin that is waiting for that grinding/honing miracle! The edge is rounded and harmless. So what I am looking for is not someone who can put a nice edge on a 'dull' blade, but someone who can actually work to 'finish' a non-existent edge. I can put a great hone on any blade. I need to get to that point.

Anyone know someone who can do this for me?

BTW, I have proceeded myself through a 200, 400, 800, and even put it up against my coarser grinder to set the proper 'edge', with no real luck. I've gotten one kind of close to actually doing some cutting, but don't want to F-up the rest until I run out of options!

Thanks all!
