I spent about 4 years making and still have most of my knives. I quit around COVID time sadly. I’ve been a carpenter and cabinetmaker for almost 40 years when I got into knife making. Quickly realized I can make way more money doing what I do. Sadly I really love making knives but can’t sell if my life depended on it. I sure miss making. I have about 6 knives waiting to be finished after heat treat. Someday maybe I’ll finish them. You’ve somewhat invigorated me but I’m way too busy right now in my trade. I’d prefer doing knives in cooler weather. Before my even heat oven I made a gas forge after starting with a hibachi grill and battery blower. I miss that old heat treat method especially in fall when cooler. I had a blast on 1084 or 1095 of course.

I was usually buffing sideways which was more scary. I like the way you do it much better.

It’s been a couple years since I made my last knife but going to the buffer still makes me cringe. Of all the knife making tools the buffer can jerk that knife right from your tight grip. There must be a safer process in my opinion. Thanks for the video. I like your 1x1 sanding block. You’ve got most of my same setup and tools. Awesome.
