Belt grinders

Here is a suggestion for those using belt grinders that include 4x36 machines like my Hitachi. Jantz has many different grits for the 4 inch wide machines for about 1/2 of the price of my local hardware store.

Project three update


Since the last photo and entry, I have finished the Mar Gunstock and taken the knife into the field (read kitchen) to see if the knife would still perform.

Here I am using the finished knife to skin and bone some chicken after I sharpened the knife on a Lansky sharpener. All in all, it performed as though it had never gone through the fire and still wore the original scales.

Next, I will start on several Damascus blanks that I got from Rob Charlton of Damascus USA.
