| My Heat Treating & Forging Area |
| After Freehand Hollow grinding a Cutout Blade |
| IT ALL STARTS AT THE GRINDER I use stock removal, which means starting with a Damascus billet or blade steel bar stock then profiling and grinding it into a knife blade. I freehand hollow grind most knives which I prefer, as well as some convex and full flat grinds on hammer & anvil forged blades. The hardening and tempering of the steel is all done in my shop. All of my knife blades are Rockwell tested with my Ames hardness tester. It takes all the guess work out of making a high performance knife. USERS |
