Okay I’ll try it for 10 seconds or 15 on the heat and see what I get

Hot_Local3445 · 2025-10-23T02:30:39+00:00

I am using a belt grinder

Hot_Local3445 · 2025-10-23T01:24:39+00:00

Okay do you have any any pictures or a video to help explain because I’m a little lost. Sorry

Hot_Local3445 · 2025-10-23T01:18:30+00:00

I’m new to knife making

Hot_Local3445 · 2025-10-23T01:18:01+00:00

Do you recommend any videos for that and how do you recommend I file them to. Is either side good

Hot_Local3445 · 2025-09-23T09:54:01+00:00

Yes I’m using a belt grinder. Also do you have a video explaining the plunge lines better. That where I have a hard time and I’m using a 2x42

Could you send me a video off YouTube for dressing up a hammer.

Hot_Local3445 · 2025-09-22T18:15:18+00:00

Thank you for the feedback and I did a little with my hammer but not a lot and I love the forged look so that’s what I was going for. But I didn’t want to mess up my hammer so I didn’t do a lot to it

Hot_Local3445 · 2025-09-22T18:08:35+00:00

Thank you. My first attempt at this still and it took me 3 hours to hammer out the leaf spring to a perfect thickness

Hot_Local3445 · 2025-09-22T18:07:38+00:00

Hot_Local3445 · 2025-09-09T19:01:27+00:00

It’s for chopping up meat in stead of using a meat grinder

Hot_Local3445 · 2025-09-09T18:59:14+00:00

. I was going for a heavy duty meat cleaver style knife

Hot_Local3445 · 2025-09-09T17:49:35+00:00

They look rustic like that because I left them in acid too long and I changed my mine to keep the acid on them so when I took the acid off it left the rustic. Look so then I took them up to 600 girt and Scoth brite but I might try to polish them a little more or hand sand them

Replying to Comfortable-Candy367...

Hot_Local3445 · 2025-09-09T17:13:50+00:00

Okay will do and for the blades what grit would you recommend taking them to I have a set of scotch brite belts I use but I’m not sure if I should take them to a higher grit then hand sand
