How about on not HT steel?

Alright, thank you Doug, I started on the blade without HT anyways. I have an 80 grit belt and i'm trying to put moderate firm pressure. My grinds don't come out very even but i hope it will come out alright, i'm half way done but i'm doing a flat grind half way down the blade. The blade is 5"...

Oh alright! Thank you :) What is the highest grit belt i should go to be safe from overheating with a fair amount of grind time, i heard 400 grit was a round about max.

Hey guys! I haven't been here in a while but it seems that all the dogs are still as generous as ever with their knowledge ^_^ I'll be back for a while now, hopefully I can help some new people with what i've learned from you guys. Now to topic: I after the many knives i've made with my...

Thank you very much Jim :) -Pedro G.

Thank you very much Jim :) Much appreciated! -Pedro G.

Haha changing it to iphone wouldn't be very hard. Getting it in the app store is the only difficulty (They are very picky..). -Pedro G.

That makes sense! Thank you Justin! I'll see what I can do. -Pedro G.

Thank you JDW. The last knife I made looks something like that except it was full flat grind and it was about 3-4" blade length. -Pedro G.

Thank you very much, but that knife wasn't my first, I just don't progress too fast ^_^ it's been a year or two since I started, I've made maybe 6-8 knives. Doing your first with hand files just give you a better feel for the knife making process as a whole (It did to me at least although it was...

Try your first with some hand files. You can file the blade shape on the steel, make the edge, and clean the edge (Make it smoother) using some basic hand files. Their cheap and you'll never regret buying them because you will always need them no matter how great your tools are :) -Pedro G.

Thank you! haha yea I'll get to it ASAP! :) -Pedro G.

Haha never mind, the grinder sold about 5 minutes after I posted this ^_^. Thank you for your help anyways!

Haha thank you very much Rex :), Oh no!, haha that's alright, you've given me so much already! I was thinking that but i'm so absolutely broke and pressed for money I thought selling it might help me (I mean depending on how much its worth). But you might be right, I'll think about it :) Thanks...

That's great! I'll be waiting up for it! -Pedro G.

Alright, I'm pretty darn broke though, I'll keep you posted if I'm able to nab it. I'll probably have lots of questions. :P -Pedro G.

I found a used but great condition wilton 2" belt grinder for 300$ with extra belts. Its the 2500$ model. Is this a good deal? Better than that, should I go for it once i can rack up some money? -Pedro G.

Since normal phones are quickly becoming non-existant and smart phones are taking over I think we should have an app for KnifeDogs. Id be nice to have a comfortable easy way to get on the forums while your waiting at the doc's office or your taking a break from work. What do you guys/gals...

I have a couple pieces of 1084 stock I want to use before I buy any more steel. They are all 1/4" thick. About 1 1/2" wide and length is about 7-11". My question is, What kind of knife designs would suit this steel nicely? (If you can post pictures of the style it would be great too!)...

Haha that's alright! Yes it is from overheating and I had planned to make it a full mirror finish but I decided instead of grinding the crud off i'll just sand over it and I loved how it looked! Thank you very much Doug! -Pedro G.
