I am more interested in fixed blade and at some point making a set of kitchen knifes I working on getting some stuff together a good vertical belt sander could use it for building BBQ pits also. I work at machine shop so I do have accesses to steel 1080 or 4140 not sure which would be best. I know I could sit down and write a program slap a chuck of steel in a 5 axis and run it out and be done with just alittle finish work. But I will start with cutting out blanks and going from there. To start with for now.
