Ive never worked with steal before so didnt know what i was getting into. This is about an hours work. And those points are killer. I got to fix that as i can see stabbing myself easy. Cutting edge is now 2.5 inches.

I can see a 2X72 grinder in your future.

As with the pic that I showed you by removing the stabilizer you would need to round the point off to avoid a potential 'blood letter'.

You can still achieve a Spanish 'style point' but it'll take some work.

Have Fun and Keep the PPE on!

Oh for those that don't know: PPE stands for Personal Protective Equipment

Been one of those weeks! This little fancy pants W&B has been ingesting my prandial comestibles for that long.
It came in a nice fitted case and seemed to have had little use. A minor polishing and cleaning should have done for it. Not!

Well. this one is the weirdest I've ever met! How it got to a show/ sales room I really do not know.
It cleaned fairly well but it would not hone for sour owl tweety!]

To use the term waggle, or frown, or smile would not give due justice to its uniqueness!.
Who ever looks at a grind? One usually hones the side down then the other...right?
Look carefully! There is a different grind on each side of the blade!
The finish looked as though it had been the original factory polish and not reground then polished. So I learned a lot and hope I train myself better for the future!

I was going for that old ship looking point. The metal is so think at the spine it takes a lot of time to work it down. Might round the heal point off too. I dont know right now. I'll get to some hand sanding and stare at it for a while and see what comes to me.

Looks Awesome This is one of those ( now would you just look at that Kinda moments) I,m thinkin by now your wife is not thinking this is so ridiculous after all.. Never mind what the PPE guy is tryin to tell ya, Have Fun Use your imagination,Ty

Better to play and learn your mistakes on a Gold Dollar than an expensive and beautiful 7 day set in Ivory.

Well, he does have to stay in touch with us commoners somehow.....

Well he certainly not going to reshape the 7 day set. You can put tortoise shell scale on a good dollar and you will have a Gold Dollar...
