Thanks guys.
Knife making has become an addiction... with each one it inspires me and gives me all kinds of ideas on what I want to do and how to do it better on the next one. Or inspires me to try something new.
Still in the “give them away” phase but hopefully I can eventually get good enough to where maybe some people would want to buy them/order a custom knife. Turned out really nice. PM me when you have your first one up for sale.

Thanks for all the kind words everyone and the advice from the experienced knife makers. It does not fall on deaf ears and is much appreciated.

I believe in science and I’m an insufferable [censored] Actually, BBC is pretty damn good "You Cannot Simultaneously Be Politically Correct And Intellectually Honest!"

On 1095 I take it to 240 grit. 320 on O1 and 400 on Damascus. Stainless go to 600 or higher depending on what I have in mind for the final finish. I was afraid you were going to say that! Lol Thanks for the info, I’ll take it to 220/240 tomorrow before heat treat. This one is likely going to be cold blue finish so I want to get the finish sand pretty even for sure. FiremanJG: I made it with stabbing in mind for sure, which is why I did the false edge on top front half, but also gave it the big belly for slicing [/quote] Nice lookin knife sir! Mike, great info sir on the sanding. I wonder how much time you saved whoever is paying attention!
