I am new to knife making and have heard here and there comments about how thin to make your edge before you HT and they are always diffrent. Just trying to get all the information in one place for anyone else starting out.

Keith, what grit do you finish at with your Corion? I have seen some of your handles with it and am very impressed. Just wondering how high of grit you go to?

That knife looks great. love the damascus

okay thanks for the help. I had heard some people say to avoid cheap ones but it was for a different use (smelting lead) good to know I don't have to put down tons of money for one.

I am looking for a respirator that will work for standard handle material/ steel grinding. I have little money ATM but do not want to risk not having one. Any suggestions on an affordable respirator to buy? I have looked around some but would like to know what makers with more experience use.
