The skill of a craftsman really shines through when they make something this spectacular with a set up that isn’t exactly perfect. Nice work!

I have found out that if I convex the edge around 12 k and go up around 3/4” and then grind in the concave that has worked well so far. Would like to mention I have the 36” platten also but for 2 1/4” chef knives I think the 24” would be better. The 36” I feel is better suited for wider blades. Great job on your part.
@mattwatersbladesmithАй бұрын
That’s great to know!! I’ll probably pick up the 24” platen as well. I appreciate the comment!!

I found your channel with the prior upload to this one, I’ve now watched several videos of yours and I just want to say, thank you Matt. It’s very refreshing to watch actual informative and thoughtful content, without epic montages and b rolls, just nice blade work with awesome end results. I find your videos inspiring and it's funny to watch your quirky problem solving, always interesting to see new ways to overcome issues. I'll keep an eye on your content and patiently wait for your next video. Keep on going, awesome work. I know very little on the practical side of this craft but i did think your hollow grind was pretty shallow, maybe next time try a tat bit more depth to it and I'll bet it will I'll improve the nonstick.

Wow, thank you so much. That was one of the most thoughtful and encouraging comments I've ever had left, I really appreciate it! I'm stoked you enjoy my videos and interesting problem solving lol. I am already working on the next video, so it won't be too long of a wait :)

Looks great man. I think the convex edge below the hollow needs to be a bit More convex. That will probably help with the food release.

I heard steaming horns (not antlers) can soften them up and stop cracks you can also use a smaller hammer with a round end, to make the blades back uneven on both sides, that way food wont stick as much
