Hey, Guys:
I've decided that I need to learn how to Hollow Grind if I am ever going to be able to call myself a knifemaker. That means that I am going to have to add a wheel and wheel arm to my Pheer 454 grinder. I have no idea what size wheel I should buy. What are the factors that I should consider when I decide what size of wheel to buy?
Second question: I know we all use different steels for different purposes and have different ideas about what steels perform best under certain circumstances. Just wondering if anybody feels strongly about what stainless steel is easiest to resharpen in the bush; say like on a smooth river rock or on the top edge of one of my truck windows? I appreciate all comments on these topics. Thank you.
