80crv2 would be a great choice as well. You're needing toughness and it will definitely work. I know you can get it in bigger pieces from Aldo. I have done quite a bit of testing and have seen first hand how tough it is. Lin Rhea M.S. just used it in our cutting competition in Little Rock on...

Very nice! I have been wanting to try one myself Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk

I would use a 1" wide contact wheel and use the edge of the belt. Just a thought Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk

Thanks John. Yes. It's designed as an edc blade. I get a lot of questions like this. I guess because there's no point to speak of. If you think of it, how often do you need to stab something. How often do you really need a point. The cutting edge does 99% of the work. Sent from my...

Here's my latest one out the shop. I get a lot of requests for these Pocket Cleavers with Superconductor Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk

I like it John. I haven't used AEBL in the kitchen yet. I've used it on small hunter's and skinners. It's a great steel from what I've seen Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk

Awesome. Glad I didn't come off as a bunghole. One thing I have noticed. The way people perceive you can be different than face to face. I'm glad I was able to help out Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk

My name Chris. Not John. The FLC namplate rating you listed has 2 numbers. The higher number is wired at 230V 3 phase. The lower number is wired for 480V. The higher the voltage the less the amperage. Your full load current is 5.5 at 230V 3 phase. 5.5 amps is what the motor will pull...

Sell everything for scrap metal. Buy knife steel with the profits. Much less headache Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk

Local codes are there for your safety. NEC is the standard. Authority Having Jurisdiction can require more than NEC. If you own the property and the building, you're not breaking any laws by doing away with the GFCI. Adding a dedicated circuit would be your best bet if you intend on running on...

It's 304. I'd bet money on it. Not suitable for knives. It doesn't have the carbon in it. Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk

It is a great choice for many knives. If your set up to heat treat it correctly. My personal edc knife is made from 80CrV2 and it really does hold the edge and take an edge. I have been impressed with this steel. I haven't tested the toughness by means of chopping, but I suspect it would do...

No. There are much better steels for this. I would recommend Aldo's steel for a hamon. W2 tool steel, 1095 and 1075 will all produce a hamon if done correctly. Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk

Variable speed disc. Up to 320. Hand sand with precision ground hardened steel lengthwise. If you want crisp lines you'll need to hand sand with a truly flat and solid sanding block. The transition is better and crisper if your bevels are hollow ground Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk

Thanks for the awesome picture Caleb Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk

That's a beauty John! Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk

Some guys like using Koa natural with a good properly applied Tru-Oil finish. I personally like it stabilized. I use K&G for all my stabilizing. I've used it both ways and even a block done in Cactus Juice. I prefer the finish and ease of finish with the stabilized koa Sent from my SM-G920P...

I've done European mounts a few times. I use bleach powder and hair salon strength hydrogen peroxide. You can buy them at a beauty supplies outlet. They are very strong. My skulls end up snow white. As far as the bone. I would look for large work horse bones. I had a guy give me...

That's awesome Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk

I use my bandsaw. I used to use a Dremel tool with a cut-off wheel Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk
