Anywho, I've been working on some grinding guides and other tid bits. I also spent some time on a secret squirrel project that I can't show here per my customer's request.
 |
| The Tacti-Hunter. Something was bugging me about the grind. We'll get to that in a minute. |
 |
| Starting a new chef's knife. I will be making a grinding guide for this one. |
 |
| Pizza break! Saturday evening ritual. |
 |
| A break from knifemaking and tool making to work on the truck. I've been getting a lot of smoke. The passenger side valve cover was leaking. Good thing the driver's side valve cover is still good(ish) and I can wait to replace it. I need to pull the intake off and that makes it about a 5 hour job. |
 |
| Something's fishy. Bugging me.... I measured the included angle, which should have been 18 degrees. It was more like 14-15 degrees. Also, I was having trouble keeping it consistent. |
 |
| Something didn't feel right when I started the guide for my chef's knife. I was somehow out of adjustment. A light came on and I decided to check on the Tacti-Hunter. |
 |
| Recutting the Tacti-Hunter guide. Take note of the line I'm pointing to with the little screwdriver. Somewhere in my set up when I milled it, I was WAY off!!! Not only was my angle off, it was out of straight as well. I'm usually very good about getting my set ups on point. I either got lazy or cocky. I don't care which, I've got it fixed. |
 |
| First test drive of the chef's knife guide. This one went well. I'll get this one finished up during the week. I need to run a test drive for the other guide as well. However, this is where I was at the end of my night...so they will have to wait until later. |
