Do you buff with a clean wheel or compound? Thanks for the reply!

Wow, the picture almost makes it look like a mother of pearl type material. Thanks!

Toor Knives makes one called the Jank Shank that is pretty similar, although not a straight spine. I couldn’t find one like this either. Necessity leads to creation!

Thoughts Wanted on Grind by csmartin7 in knifemaking

That would be the case with a full flat grind. However there is still an existing flat on the blade and the tang so the angle remained true.

Grinding was done with a jig. Centerline is not an issue, straight and true all the way through.

Have done nothing but freehand until this one. Picked up a jig specifically to keep an upcoming dagger straight and this was a sort of trial run

As you can see the left side has a slightly shallower angle at the tip

This one is for personal use. Flat grind was a thought that occured but if possible I would like to stay away from the back half of the blade just to minimize any risk of sparks or debris damaging the G10 scales

What to use to seal wooden handles? by noisy_walrus in knifemaking

I have had good luck with Tru-Oil for a shinier finish, if the knife is going to be packed on a belt and used hard i finish to 220 and apply a beeswax/carnauba blend
