[@lemueljacinto3338]

Can you make a longer version of that?

[@zeemanknives]

@@lemueljacinto3338 Yes I can...going to be a heavy blade though.

[@mikenorris6769]

Do you sharpen your own bits?

[@zeemanknives]

Yes i do...220 grit belt just touching up the cutting surfaces works great

[@mikenorris6769]

@@zeemanknives I have a fine aluminum oxide wheel on my bench grinder,,works good, takes a bit of practice to get right..

[@rodrigoruiz976]

Beautiful work! Too bad you need too many power tools for a person who doesn't do this for a living to afford.

[@zeemanknives]

You could do it without all those power tools....just need a lot more time and patience.

I think he has too many felt pens, sheeesh......I've seen other builders with more tools. Great knives my friend, incredible build.
