joshua.M Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 I got a bunch of rasps and decided to play with one and wanted to make a rugged all around knife. pics to prove it! Quote
joshua.M Posted February 2, 2012 Author Posted February 2, 2012 ugh, my FAAAAAVORITE part (sarcasim) grinding fileing and sanding, all done by hand (because i have no other choice) :P Quote
joshua.M Posted February 2, 2012 Author Posted February 2, 2012 i forgot to mention, this is my first attempt at a full tang blade Quote
Sam Salvati Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 pickle off the scale in vinegar overnight it will save your files. If you find you hate filing and it is going too slow, then your file is probably worn out. Also, google drawfiling, a fast and controllable way to remove material, very good technique and very satisfying. Quote
joshua.M Posted February 2, 2012 Author Posted February 2, 2012 i have draw flied before, i got a new bench grinder with a 2/24 belt sander on the side, i was thinking of using that as a way of removing the worst of the scale, but i like the pickling idea Quote
