Hi Gidon

I have done a fair bit of research on the web even youtube if anyone is really interested I'll try to post a few useful links, if you take it step by step then it's not to bad probably the hardest thing is to get the even bevel on the blade in my case 10 degrees?

Thanks Lee yes am interested if you get the chance. Definately will be on my something to try list - although that list has got pretty long recently!

Cheers

interesting project, up till now I have only put handles on blades that I brought, How did you get on with the tempering of the blade, dose it seem to be holding the edge ok?
Simon

Hi Simon

Hopefully the tempering went ok the blade will shave hairs but as it's just been made I'm unsure to the edge holding as yet!

That's a very beautiful knife. I even thought so before you added the wooden burr handle! :wink:

i sopose you could do the 10 degre bit on the tormek if you had the knife jig. but might take ages??

That would turn out to be a very expensive blade as you'd have to price in a new stone, lol...

Did use my Tormek to sharpen it though!

Sorry for not answering earlier but I've been busy making sets of doors for two yachts out of teak very stressful...

Fantastic project with a good outcome, not sure that I understand the sharpening jig though

smashing. Also like the file guide - must have a go at one of those. Any links?
