| The top one is the first Tacti-Hunter...it will serve as a template. Bottom will become the first finished knife. |
 |
| I don't know about you...but that's a lovely sight to me. I've got some handle decisions to make. |
 |
| Back to the block that I started dimensioning yesterday. This step will help secure the blade during grinding. I estimated where the angle would come to, then moved the line up a little. This is one of those times when it's OK to eyeball some non-critical dimensions. |
 |
| Lining up the angle table to cut the base of the jig. |
 |
| Milling the angled face. |
 |
| Test drive at 50 grit. This is a thick blade...believe it or not, 50 grit will take a while. I should have some new 36 grit belts tomorrow and they will grind that bevel lickity-split. The grinding jig is set for a 9 degree bevel...for an 18 degree included angle. I can't wait to get this knife ground up and into the kiln! It should be a fun one to finish up. |
