I made an Asymmetrical Chisel Ground blade to see how the design preformed and if the good and bad I had been warned and told abut were really true. I have been testing the blade for over a week 1/2 and have come to prefer the grind for what I desire in my hunting/ general bushcraft blades. Adding a secondary to the chisel on both side really just makes it an asymmetrical grind and prevents the blade from trying to "steer" when slicing firm vegetables such as potatoes and onions. The edge was taken to .004 before the secondaries was convexed on.
Specs for this drop point hunter are
O1 @ 62Rc
3 7/8 blade
4.5 handle
5/32 blade
1 1/8 at the widest part of the edge to spine
I made 7 videos attempting to condense the length from 10 minutes to the final just over 3. So the blade chopped buffalo horn and elk antler all seven times with no damage. Hope you enjoy and if you questions or comments please ask.
My HT equipment is advanced and design with accuracy and redundancy in accuracy as well as Industrial quenchants. Same for my tempering ovens. No hocus pocuss or the fables panther piss was used either :biggrin:
I would like to thank Keving Cashen, Ed Caffery, Darrin Sanders, Todd Yelverton Tracy and Beth for their time, patience, The forum and the knowledge that has allowed me to grow as a maker and craft such quality blades!
Thanks for watching
