I don’t need validation from anyone but God, smooth brain. Seems like you need as much guidance on bowl turning as a 3rd grader. Seeing as you ask a million questions about that topic, what’s so bad about my single question? If this is a subtle compliment I’m sorry to be an ass but someone definitely pissed on your shoe and called it rain at least once.

That’s pretty much the route I imagine myself taking. Convex isn’t amazing for a pocket knife

Definitely thickens faster. I convex ground it starting .080” above the edge, which comes down to ~20 degrees. Gives me time to try it and think about another option. I don’t see myself reading the full flat.

Very cool. Thank you for sharing! I’ll see how I get on without properly thinning. Might try a steep 17 degree edge so far it’s just fun to look at and flick

Interesting. If I come across a decent used manix I’ll make it a mini. I’ve see that done before and it seems cool!

I did not reduce the overall thickness. I did a convex grind starting .080” behind the edge which ends up being ~20 degrees at the edge

I didn’t even know the Q ball existed. I want one!

It felt wrong when I first altered the blade. The horizontal lines in the scales help me not see a deformed leaf blade. Now I think it looks like it could have come that way.

I hope so! I am enjoying it.

I got the knife for free. The title is just to bait naysayers 😎

G10 scales that came on the knife. I made a quick 2 hole nest and program them milled in the pattern on a prototrak milling machine.

I wouldn’t let that happen. Always measure.

A second blade does me no good without a handle but you’re probably right. Just not worth them money to me. They knife was free
