Hi all I'm new to the forum and have been grinding and making knives for only a very short time so here's one of my nagging first questions as a beginner. How do straighten your stock before grinding? What methods or tricks do you use to true it, is there any? I usually order from flatground and the first few times everything was spot on super straight but, Now I say a prayer everyday before the shipment arrives. I'm not having too much luck with the tap tap here and there method I've seen others refer to on the net. It's honestly driving me nuts. Thanks in advance.
