sorry. a lot of my videos were removed and i made many private to do a clean up.. i just made this one available to show here it shows a fairly painful to listen to edge test with lateral scraping. that edge is thin. these videos were taken side by side.. this one shows how thin it was. basically ground to zero and then raised to bevel. the laser is burning the steel hard and fby cKc (Kyley Harris) - General
for any kind of carving activity, finding the knife that fits your hand shape and size best is going to lead to the least fatigue and best perception of cutting ability, all other things being equal. i had a friend who is a professional wood carver, and he always used to remove the handles from the knives and make the handles himself to fit his hand to an exacting level (like squeezing clay leby cKc (Kyley Harris) - Video Reviews
What i like about his video is not just the insane speed at which these guys accurately fillet the fish, but how sharp that knife is. you can see its just steeling a little bit every few fish to maintain a high level of cutting precision. which emphasizes my point about a simpler steel easily restored will let you go for a very long time without needing a real sharpening. i would love some time tby cKc (Kyley Harris) - Video Reviews

Quotealkali Emphasis below is mine: I have a set of the Silverpoint Whustof paring knives: hawkbill, Wharncliffe, and spear point. Nice handles, heard the steel is junk.

Most of these dont really get a lot of use. The Boning knife is used a few times a week as we eat a lot of chicken here being one of the cheapest proteins. i get whole or body without wings and legs, and then break them down from there. these boning knives are simply excellent for this kind of work. i play around with all the different knives to see how they do with this type of thing, butby cKc (Kyley Harris) - New Knives, and New to You Knives

companies like mora etc that have high quality factories that can make really high quality knife handles with good ergonomics dirt cheap etc are impossible to beat. one of the primary things i like about mora over so many knives is the sheaths. i really like the style of sheath like this without all the superflous bulk provided by kydex and leather. im also not sure about the blade height. i lby cKc (Kyley Harris) - General

QuoteCowan Kyley, you caught me just as I was about to post. Is that grinding with the 60 and 80 done under water? Do you use coarser? I've been using 36 to lightly convex some kitchen knives in order to compensate for the lack of pressure from being so light on the unsupported belt. It just takes forever otherwise.

QuoteCowan Hello all. Very long time lurker with some questions. Really wishing I'd started making knives in quantity when Cliff was still around. I always wanted to send him one.

the other option you can go for is picking steels that are designed for high heat use, and have very large tempering temperatures. Elmax can be heat treated low or high on the temper. when done at 560c as i was doing to reach a 60rc hardness, it was extremely difficult to damage the steel from grinding, even when trying to damage it... bascially it dropped the performance a bit, until that steby cKc (Kyley Harris) - General
the reason why many find Blaze belts etc loose their aggression is because they are not using them as designed when grinding at speed. these belts are designed to work at high speeds where they will fracture and resharpen. at low speeds (most knifemakers are grinding at relatively low speeds for fear of making mistakes) they blunt off and become less useful. in this video he is just dippinby cKc (Kyley Harris) - General

Quotefrom the website This knife makes just as much sense in the back of your truck as it does in the kitchen drawer from their own marketing, its clear they dont see this knife as a belt knife. they see its use more in the way i tend to see knives as a pack knife, car knife, or basically a kitchen knife, but with the design and length not what they consider a utility belt knife. so no pointby cKc (Kyley Harris) - General
All in all with 14dps i think that is a very nice starting point for a general purpose knife. i see they also do some high end meatcrafters in different handles and steels I really like the look of this knife. so tempted to buy one even though i dont have a lot of use for it. its basically an inbetween knife of my victorinox boning knife and my swibo breaking knifeby cKc (Kyley Harris) - General
Looks very nice This svord is a good option for a similar sized knife in basic steel and a thin stick option I personally prefer thinner knives as over the long span regrinding and Sharpening is less work to keep the original cutting profile What will you use the knife for mostly?by cKc (Kyley Harris) - New Knives, and New to You Knives

I wouldn't get too fired up over a high hollow grind. doesn't mean anything really. what is important is how thin the BTE is.. a high hollow grind can be of value over a flat grind purely because there is less work on the stone over time to keep it in the same geometry, but if the geometry is thick, flat or hollow, the cutting quality wont be improved. as I've shown with myby cKc (Kyley Harris) - General
