I don’t think I’m smart enough to make this happen ... lol great job on that grind though ... please post a completed knife pic

You can get PID controllers that take 220 input .... but like @MTBob said .... not sure why for this application

Oh for sure ... I’m interested how you got that grind lime with a file... I still mostly use a file

I’d like to see a tutorial on that ;)

I’ll just be happy when I get 2 the same.... lol

If that’s all it takes .... can you make me one ? :p Looks great!

No pictures today but got back in the shop and got the blade ready for an edge .... working on the scales and had a slight issue with pin alignment but was able to remedy ... hoped to finish by Christmas but it was not to be. I’ll get it done this weekend ... I hope
