I hand forge my knives very close to final shape...take the bevels pretty close to where I want them... Then I've been going to coarse stones....for hours and hours...and hours... I think its time to get a grinder set up... I see lots of people building their own etc. and I feel like you need take a machine shop class to do it... What can I buy and have come pretty much ready out of the box, with very little modification, for grinding my bevels?
And can I buy a rig for the blade for grinding a specific angle? I'm just resisting having to make my own, so if there is any advice you all could give me I would appreciate it...even if the advice is "stop being lazy and build it" I'm on a tight budget and I don't make my knives by "stock removal" so it wouldn't be heavy duty use.... Thanks all...
