well looks like you got what you were looking for from jim. you wanted someone to confirm that your angle grinder is the best tool for the job. and it is useful, but the band saw is more suited to the tasks of knife work. itll have uses in other metal projects. Buying a good, and useful tool is never "wasting money just for the sake of it" Blades cut cleaner, last longer, don't throw sparks out the door and set your yard on fire,(don't ask) cut thinner waste less material....

if you sold a few of those knives (post some pics) rather than just give them away you could not only have the knife hobby pay for its self, but even get something for the wife so you don't have to hide the tools

what other tools are you using, and what others are on your "list"??

my suggestion with the portabands is to check the clearance behind the blade. on the dewalt (one I have) the motor housing is directly in line behind the blade. this tends to get in the way if cutting out larger parts. Some of the other brands don't have this issue.
