As someone who has only made 4 knives so far, and had a bear of a time trying to keep the bevels even and straight, this video is by FAR the best I have seen for explaining technique. THANK YOU!!

you know what, i’ve been making knives for 15 years now and i honestly have to say that the old saying “ you learn something new everyday “ is still true, i never really studied the intricacies of blade grinding as much as i should have and even now 15 years later i learned something new from your videos. sometimes you have to go back to the basics thank you

Excellent information! You are the first maker I’ve ever heard say a vitally important part of grinding, which is attitude/confidence. You’re absolutely correct that there are certain times when your headspace can absolutely affect your ability to successfully or unsuccessfully grind a knife. It seems like such a simple concept, but it took some of us a long time to figure it out. Keep up the great work!

I'm glad you mentioned attitude when approaching the grinder. Attitude is so important when you're grinding. Many makers have said after the fact that they knew they shouldn't have stepped up to the grinder but they did and ground off their thumb or ruined the piece. Come back in an hour or the next day if you have to

@TyrellKnifeworks 10 ай бұрын

@@dominicdwk If you mean a carbide file guide, I don't typically use those. Because I use the rest for the majority of my grinding, it impedes the use of the rest with a file guide attached to the blade. That's why I mark the plunge line with a scribe and do it by eye. The carbide file guides are also affected by how much the belt hangs over because it will change that plunge area. If you want to get your plunges perfect, consider a waterfall platen instead, IMO.

@TyrellKnifeworks Ай бұрын

I would NOT advise using reverse to do bevels. Beside the obvious of it blowing sparks in your face, it would be difficult to see what you're doing. I do have a reverse on my other grinder and frankly never use it. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for the prompt reply. You’re right about not standing directly over the spark shower! I thought that reverse might be better to at least take the 90° corner off and save a bit of belt grit, standing to the side of course

@thibaultwittemberg4748 10 ай бұрын

Hi M. Tyrell. I’ve been doing knifes for less than a year … I’m still a beginner (and I’m 44 😅) and I’m still learning a lot. The content you and your fellow knife makers helps A LOT. Thank you for that. I have a question though: In this video you are grinding a fairly straight blade, there is not much curve on the edge (like with a chef’s knife for instance). If you were to grind a curved edge using this technique (I mean with the help of the work table), would you still make a linear back and forth? Or would you follow the curve? (if yes, then wouldn’t the work table be an obstacle rather than a help?). Thank you again … from a follower in France.

@TyrellKnifeworks 10 ай бұрын

That's a good question. For a blade with an "outside" curve like a typical european chef knife, then this technique still applies. I do all my chef knives this way. When you approach, say, the tip of the knife that curves upwards, you pull the blade away from the platen a bit to match the curve. I'll cover this on the next grinding video when we do final grinding. Thanks for watching!

When you're starting out you're best to slow it down and take a little each time. I hope that makes sense. Thanks for watching.
