After conversing with several British knifemakers, I started the great grinder hunt. I first tried to find a machine locally through Sears, Home Depot, Lowes and several others. About this time, I got a large shipment of new knives from Rob Charlton at Damascus USA that I needed to sharpen. Rob's steel being tough, I wanted something stronger than my little Sears wet stone. (Yes, I said wet.)
I finally found a nice belt sander that is quiet enough to work inside my rental apartment. Built by Hitachi, it even has a dust collector. The thing is making short work of thinning the Ironwood that I put on the Al Mar Tanto. I will be taking pictures tomorrow and will add them to the Blog as I go.
Stay Sharp!
