lurche 48 Posted August 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 lol not gonna change it to much gonna put a nice shine down the blade but not gonna go to far with the rest of the blade. took an flap paddle to it the other day with reasonable results but when i stuck it on the linisher it dulled it off again. whats best plan of action from here? blade edge i thought i will do last but what about rest of the blade mass to get best effect im not gonna get a mirror to it as its quite pitted and as the paddle spins thought im best off linishing then would you still go through the grits and would you do the handle before or after. handle is gonna be the elm with a brass ferule and a thread will be put on the end of the tang with a nut hidden inside the handle and a brass blank knocked in the end over the nut so should be solid but removable if i ever want to change it . been reading some good books ive picked up on forging think a knife makeing 1 is next but not cheap picked up a good workshop manual on hardening and tempering aswell Quote Link to post Share on other sites
