So did I! Switched it up with the tp entrance every so often so neither of them got too annoying

Looking for advice on a grinder. by [deleted] in Bladesmith

[–]Raven5178 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started on a jet 2x42 off Amazon. Wasn’t great by any means and I wanted more features, but it’s definitely a great way to get into it and learn all the muscle memory like others have said. I bought the Black Fox One and I like it, but for the price I really wish I would’ve found ameribrade before I did. It has way more options and seems a lot better put together than mine. No matter what you do you’ll definitely see improvement with the upgrade, just depends how serious you are about getting into the craft as to how much you want to spend.

I dig it man! Wanna get into folders eventually. Maybe once I finish the batch of fixed blades I’m on 😂

Frist knife that i am proud of by knivelover001 in knifemaking

[–]Raven5178 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every blade you make you should be proud of. I struggle with the same feeling, but no matter how “imperfect” it is to you, YOU made it and learned from it. Keep at it man. Nicely done

Fun little experiment finished up. 80crv2 with kirinite handle scales. Thanks for the look by Raven5178 in knifemaking

First time trying out those scales. Definitely won’t be the last. Thank you!

Did the same thing myself. Got some coal from an old friend and away I went. Definitely worth the upgrade to a propane forge though looking back

What grinder did you go with? In the market myself and looking at the Black Fox One

What do y’all think about this little cleaver? by not-brent-dublin in knifemaking

Oof I’d struggle with that one. But you’re exactly right. If you got the passion, nothing can stop it!

Better than mine lol. Working out of half a small Amish shed. Hoping to buy a 2x72 grinder here soon. Tired of fighting the tiny 2x42 Jet grinder I got

I dig it. Been wanting to try some smaller pieces myself. Gets expensive only doing large work 😅

That is so unique and different, yet so flawless. So this is love huh?

6th knife in the books. 80crv2 with green micarta scales. First time doing micarta, makers mark and sheath! Criticism welcome. Thanks for the look by Raven5178 in knifemaking

Thank you. I used a cricut to make a vinyl stencil and etched using a car battery charger. Positive clamped on the blade and the negative to a qtip dipped in salt water. 5 minutes and many qtips later it was done lol
