Thank you sir! I’ve been making slip joints for a couple years now as well as fixed blades , however I’ve never saw this layout method ! I am definitely going to utilize it . Can you tell me what you use to adhere your liner material to the 123 block ? cA glue ? Tape ?

The problem with sharpening with the stone in your hand is that the stone wobbles and this slows down the creation of the apex. Watch the diamond stone far end go up and down. Sure you can sharpen the edge but you could do it 3x faster if the stone was stable and not flopping up and down and this video would be over in 5 minutes.
@mccullenj7 ай бұрын
Wobble or not the pressure I am applying to the stone with the knife is the same which more important than wobble. Am I maintaining a perfect angle? No. Am I worried about a perfect angle? No. I am putting a sharp edge on a tool? Yes. When, I am in my shop putting an edge on a new knife or even sharpening my kitchen knives (in my kitchen) I rest the stone on a flat and stable surface. And take more care for a perfect angle. Here, I am just quickly sharpening a knife. Do what you like and what works for you. I will do the same.

Every lubricant you recommended is a petroleum distillate, and poisonous to humans. The only lubricant I can think of, that is not petroleum based, nor organic based that will go rancid and also poison you....is Mineral oil. Mineral oil when ingested by humans is a natural laxative. it is used to put a shimmer on candy. It lubricates, protects, and will not poison you.

Thats a beauty of a design. I love them the blade shape makes em easy to sharpen i hate knives with full bolster or such so when you sharpen the edge gets a little recurved. I own to customs of my own design made by aaron johnson thats all edge as i like my knives. Just like that. Gives you so much easier sharpenability and easier to change the profile or thin em or change the bevel and so on

@@mccullenj that should have some interesting qualities then. are you moving to hollow grinds from flats, or only one some things? i think there is a lot of benefits to a super shallow hollow when it comes to sharpening. i just dont like the thick heavy deep ones you get on most knives.
@mccullenj Жыл бұрын
For some of my slipjoints I have been grinding them hollow. Maybe, 50 % are hollow and the rest full flat. I like the hollow on the thin small slipjoints for a more traditional style. They cut well and I like how they grind.

I appreciate getting to see a close up of your tang. When I first started making slip joints I had to figure out a lot of the intricacies by trial and error, such as how much should I round the corners of the tang to get a crisp snap without excessive wear on the backspring, if I leave the half stop portion slightly concave I get a more positive snap in that position, etc. Your slipjoints walk and talk with the best of them so it's nice to see the finer details of their geometry.

I wound up stripping abrasive from my CBN stone by using too much pressure and now it's about half as aggressive because I was too impatient. Letting the tool do the work is sometimes a humbling lesson.
@joecalton1449 Жыл бұрын
nice!! no sense in taking more than a couple minutes to sharpen a working knife as the edge will probably get wrecked on a staple or rock or something long before it ever wears out. and I have not ever once heard one piece of cardboard, rope, wood, ect... complain that it was cut with a working edge and not a mirror polished one.
@lindboknifeandtool Жыл бұрын
I picked up some 1” x 4” Venev stones. Perfect for finishing edges with stone in hand. 4 different grits for around $50. Eventually want to get a super vitrified diamond stone from BBB. I cut my teeth on bonded diamond stones, my go to edge is a 600 grit with a few passes over a ceramic stone, or stropped with 5 micron. Sometimes I even use a coarse stone, and just keep reducing pressure until I have a refined deburred super coarse edge. Micro serrations are an understatement, especially with high carbide, hard tool steels.
@tacticalcenter8658 Жыл бұрын
Often times new sharpeners will wear the diamonds out too fast. I often recommend bonded diamond stones and silicon carbide for resurfacing them. They do have corse options but not really corse. Though they do have options with a lot of diamond in solution which helps hog material away. But yeah, somewhere around 600 grit is a great finishing stone for a working edge. 1k ish is fine for some steels.
