Great job! I'm looking forward to more pictures.
I'm glad someone mentioned the T88 epoxy, I'm almost out of my el-cheapo stuff and was looking for a good epoxy.

Ah, I see. Heck, with that kind of cutting ability I'd say you've earned the right to brag a little! That kind of cutting test is not only a testament to the blade itself, but also speaks volumes of the heat treat. Good job all the way around.

Another job well done, Frank.
I've been watching all your knives for a little while now, and notice there are never any grind lines in the ricasso area. Do you incorporate bevels in the entire length of the blade or do you use a short convex grind on the cutting edge?

I'm still working with an inadequate 4x36 machine, and the way RodneyJ describes above is the best way I've found. My process is the same as his, and while I'm not a great knifemaker, the blades look much better using this process.

Well this thread peaked my interest. I just inherited a SAK Tinker a few weeks ago, spent a few minutes on the stone this morning to sharpen it up and put decided I'd carry it for a while to see what it can do. It won't replace my Trapper, but I'll use it every chance I can. May be a fun...
