How much of that is done by eye, Stuart? Curious about how you go about getting such an even grind time after time.

All of it.

There is a video from a while ago.

Thread 'Roughing the Primary Bevels of a MuntjaX Blade'

Jan 6, 2023

Hi all, following on from this post in my old Get to Know Me, WIP thread...
In particular, this bit... I have a short video of me rough grinding the bevels on a MuntjaX blade but I'm not sure I can attach it here, if anyone know how?

This could work? I'm not sure if you have to be registered and logged in to Vimeo to view it though? Anyhow I'll give it a whirl.

I am (was) still deliberating on this one..?!

The gent who this set was for originally changed the spec. a little, so rather than make do as it were I have started a brand spanking new set for him, which leaves me with these.

I still have this idea burning bright in mind of the set all handled in different colours of Kirinite, my small concern is that it might be a little niche, especially as I will be looking for a home for them.

So I tried one today, to see if it helped my decision, it did, I am doing it next week.

Eight knives, eight different types of Kirinite.

The one handled today being #1280/7, the bread knife.

There are two ways of getting Batman in for his dinner.

1; 'dinner, dinner, dinner, dinner, dinner, dinner, dinner, dinner, Batman!!'

2; prep it with the Batknife.

OK - with the angle, I wasn’t sure if it was a 90 or a 70….

Or a rather special Sgian Dubh! - I think the old "having a valid reason for carrying" might be a bit of a challenge at a Wedding or Burns Supper!
Beautiful knife though!
