AEB-L in Blue and White Acrylester #36 with brass bolster and black fibre spacers. Balance point is under the middle finger in the pinch grip. I took this down to 0.015" before applying a 17° secondary. Cuts like a dream. Thanks for looking. Have a super long weekend guys! Dan
Sweet knife.. Nice blue in the handle too. I'm sure you've posted this before but how did you finish the blade (what progression/ where did you stop)? I love that finish.
Hi Todd. Thanks. The blade is finished with a fine conditioning belt on the 12" wheel working the lenght of the blade.
So normal hand sanding and then the conditioning belt. How far do you go - to what grit? Do you have any room to cheat because you're using the conditioning belt afterwards or is it basically the same process - sand it all nice and pretty and then the cond. belt. I have a medium and fine belt i believe but never really used them much. I was always so focussed on improving my hand sanding that i never really thought about conditioning belts.
No hand sanding. Only belts and the disc to 220 and then the conditioning belts. Hand sanding sucks so I try to do as little as possible. LOL
NO FRIGGIN" WAY!!! You mean, i've been destroying my arthritic fingers all this time grasping tiny pieces of sandpaper for nothing? I shoulda asked you months ago!! I have to try this now.
Yeah.....hand sanding is just the worse....I have 0 money to get decent gear at the moment so i just gotta work my fingers into arthritis since it hasnt begun for me...yet
