Gustav Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Hey! Really happy about my first knife! I've tried twice before but it was pretty much just practice ones on mild steel. This one is made from 5x40 mm O2 tool steel. It successfully hardened and tempered, but I'm not really happy about the sharpening. I went from 120 to 400 grit on our belt sander (the highest grit we had lol), tried honing but failed so it almost cuts paper. So there's a lot to improve and learn from. What do you think about it?

ThomasPowers Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 If it won't hone on an aluminium oxide stone you can try a diamond hone---I would worry about brittleness if it was that hard though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
