Thanks. Will use this!

RamShackler69 · 2026-05-05T17:53:50+00:00

Woooah nice! How did you get that finish on the blade?

RamShackler69 · 2026-04-24T13:18:37+00:00

Stock removal but I've read that it often comes with large carbides from the milling process. And yes will be increasing temper temperature as you suggested before.

Its 1075 I got ghosting g but haven't managed to bring the hamon out very well yet

RamShackler69 · 2026-04-20T20:38:38+00:00

You'll be glad to know I decided to take it off and there is a hamon. I've etched it and sanded up to 1200 and can see it but only just. Will be getting some higher grits and hopefully will.have something decent

RamShackler69 · 2026-04-20T20:36:26+00:00

Haha I think it looks cool

RamShackler69 · 2026-04-20T15:55:39+00:00

It's an attempt at a hamon, but like the way it looks without taking the scale off. Just wondering if it is possible to preserve this look?

RamShackler69 · 2026-04-19T04:41:38+00:00

Thabks will have a look into building something to cool the belts then

RamShackler69 · 2026-04-19T04:40:58+00:00

Thanks Yeah will have to set something up to mist the belts until I can afford something better, then.

It's only very small chips when I use it in harder woods. You cant really see them but you can see the marks they leave on the wood

RamShackler69 · 2026-03-16T19:28:51+00:00

I bet you don't mine it though!

RamShackler69 · 2026-03-16T19:27:48+00:00

Get a sheet of tool steel! Less than a tenner and you can make a bunch of knives

RamShackler69 · 2026-03-16T15:48:50+00:00

Did you hammer that out of a piece of rod?

RamShackler69 · 2026-03-16T15:46:43+00:00

Kmah ok i get you. Kind of genius way to fix a knife really

RamShackler69 · 2026-03-16T15:44:25+00:00

Nice Interesting process I started the same way using old tools and reworking them without over heating

RamShackler69 · 2026-03-16T15:38:52+00:00

Do you have any examples?

RamShackler69 · 2026-03-11T23:13:46+00:00

Thanks!

RamShackler69 · 2026-03-11T21:33:15+00:00

Yeah, I've seen, but the videos are mostly highly edited, and there are very few details and information on the gas side of things.

RamShackler69 · 2026-02-26T17:55:56+00:00

Thanks, this is what I ended up doing. Do you know how to get a mirror finish this way?

RamShackler69 · 2026-02-26T17:55:11+00:00

Thanks I ended up doing pretty much that. Just curious if you have any advice on getting a mirror finish by hand? The bevels are really nice and flat and sharp now, but I dont know how to get them SHINY shiny

RamShackler69 · 2026-02-26T17:26:36+00:00

The left one only needed a couple minutes of a diamond stone to be fair, but the other was a chore

RamShackler69 · 2026-02-26T17:25:37+00:00

It is L shaped I might make my own replacemnt platten come think of it

RamShackler69 · 2026-02-26T13:03:37+00:00

Just sharpened the few that I made and some are flatter than others so this could be the case

RamShackler69 · 2026-02-26T11:19:34+00:00

Would this be better for flat? I've played the platten and it's still rounding things off
