    Questions - Post heat treat grinding

    Thanks guys. I am getting ready to do a 10 knife run of a hunter pattern. Ed's got me a little concerned so I will do just one blade and heat treat it to see how it grinds post HT. Normally I taper the tang and bevel grind post HT.

    Here is one I just finished, O1 and stabalized amboyna. Amboyna came from Gallery Hardwoods I believe by the way of the Boss. Nice stuff.

    " Hometown Heroes " Our next Knife Dog Military Build

    This is a cool idea and I am in for sure. Might be a good idea to form smaller regional groups for more remote areas and local groups in the bigger cities. This way the guys who just want to make knives can work with those willing to go and meet with the recruiters and the best of both worlds...

    Grinder Woes

    2x42 craftsman glass platen?

    These glass platen covers are awesome. Will really help your grinding. I use the slow cure JB Weld, scratch up the back of the glass with a hogger belt (wear a resperator!) and smooth the JB Weld onto you platen in a horizontal level position. Use a popicle stick to dam up the JB Weld at the...
