thanks guys think I'll stick with my belt grinder. Used 10 or 12 inch long ago. Guess I try to find a 10 or 12inch, for my old Blade master grinder. Thanks again.
I agree with all the others. Starting with 440C and all the other high carbon stainless steels, will do what you are asking. And they will all corrod some. After all it is stainless not stainliss. As SBuzek said ti liners g-10 handels,and a fresh water rinse at the end of the day a drop of oil...
I am a fitter and worked worked with 316/316L. I have used it for bolster on knives. It works well, takes a good polish. You can buy 316 hily-arc rods, and sheets. This way the bolsters , pin,and liners can all match.
Get the rods from a welding supply house. Hope this helps. Darryl
also from grainger there is loctite depend 2. it works plastic to metal. you have to put in vice and bend 90deg. to brake. do not know about wood to plactic
A man at work has a two fixed blade. It is broken just behind the guard. I have access to welding. Can I weld in this area with harm to the hardness. Or do I need to protect it with something. Thanks.
