could you maybe make a chalk talk on guards? Just started out and one area I am struggling with right now is the design and construction of different handguards like ferrules , quillons and stuff like that. Your other chalk talk videos greatly helped me understand the other topics!

What grinder are you using?

@SamTownsBladesmith 9 күн бұрын

@garyhale1254 I use a Fireman's Fabrication Fireant grinder, which is no longer in production. The best I have used is the Gibson 72 from 84 Engineering, but any of the 84 Engineering grinders are amazing

Thats why I chose the Paramilitary 2 due to its blade geometry. I actually bought the PM2 clone Ganzo 729. I dispatched my dog with it an the blade went in between the ribs like butter and out even easier. That sold me to this blade geometry and I ordered some more of these Ganzo. Flat grind, thin apex, distal taper towards the tip, swept belly up towards the tip which makes it super thin on the tip perfectly for stabbing. Weak tip though. This cuts in all cases allways 4 times as easy and better than my scandi grind tanto blades. Same 440C steel bbut different geometry. I only do an 260 grit burr to the other side of the Ganzo 729 and then deburr it carefully at the other side as no burr is to feel on eighter side. Then only strope it on a piece of leather carefully and it cuts paper after that. Thats good enough. I do 22.5 degrees on the flat part of the blade and deburr each side then do the belly and tip manually on the 260 grit wet stone. Be carefull with the tip and belly not to change angle. Leather stroping after that and it cuts paper. This geometry mostly uses the tip and only part of the belly for cutting cheese, pizza and cooking - the flat part is basically never used for cooking. Awesome design and engineering.

@jeremywood8205 thanks for your comment! Arkansas toothpicks were more often than not double edged, which this is not, and did not normally feature a stepped riccasso! The term "bowie" covers a myriad shapes and sizes of blade.

Awesome video, Sam. I am curious what went wrong with the first heat treat. And what did you change in the second one?

@SamTownsBladesmith 2 ай бұрын

@WetFireForge thanks mate! The first heat treat was in oil, specifically medium speed oil, as it is all I currently have, which wasn't fast enough to transition the austenite to martensite in this old rasp which I believe to be somewhere around 1050ish. The second quench was in water, which was a risk, bit it paid off haha

@SamTownsBladesmith Okay, that makes. And I'm very glad your blade didn't break in the quench
