    Knife class

    I would guess diffidently heat treated then torch drawn back. Also fast epoxy and handle pinned in place if stick tang.

    Belt progression

    Belt changes whether it has been heat treated or not. I feel the tracts run cooler when grinding hard steel and doesn’t affect temper.

    Burnishing 3-4 layer edges

    One thing also you can do is I glue one side of sheath and matching welt, when it is almost dry I align them together. I then use a small square faced hammer and hammer with over lapping blows. I then glue other side of sheath and welt then when ready apply them together. I hammer again back...

    Pry tab on handle of full tang blade-Bad idea?

    I for one would not pins handle scales on but use Corby bolts to lock it up.

    Belt progression

    I start with a 50 grit then 120 then 400 grit pre heat treat on 154cm. AEB-L post heat treat I do 50,120, Trizact A65 then A45 and hand sand. Damascus I do A 30 pre etch. On 154cm after heat treat I do 120, trizact progression again.

    Burnishing 3-4 layer edges

    Saddle soap helps to fill them in.

    Burnishing 3-4 layer edges

    I sand with an 80 grit belt then use an edger for the corners. I dampen the leather then rub with saddle soap to smooth , next a hard plastic piece to rub to smooth.

    Grinding position

    I grind in the sitting position all the time. Maybe not getting all the pressure some of you do standing but it stills works.

    Paul Long has retired. Check Kenny Rowe. The one I get if I don't do my own is back logged.
