Back in the groove...almost

[RedstickJP]

Well I finally got back on the grinder today. Tried my first Bowie blank I had prepared...got it almost ready for hand sanding and then burned it up right at the ricasso...had the edge too thin :-/. Grabbed my next blank I had ready (drop point) and was still aggravated and ended up with a terrible grind...I mean terrible...so then I took a break, calmed down, and grabbed another Bowie blank. This one is ready for hand Sanding now after taking it to 400grit on the grizzly. Swedges are more difficult than I thought...of course it's also the first time I've done a clip point. And tips on grinding the swedge? I got it pretty good using the slack belt after practicing on the blank I burned up. On a positive note...the two jacked up blanks make excellent throwing knives...and was a good way to relieve my frustration lol.
