Any one grind there bevels after heat treat?
I am wondering if any one profiles there knife then send it away to heat treat then grind there bevels.Steel after heat treat from what I have heard from some good makers is a different beast after heat treat,if one is careful and has a hard contact wheel could grind there bevels and not get so much of a rough finish on the courser grits,from what I have been told the steel grinds different.I would like to hear the pros and cons about this way of grinding. |

Nathan, this is mostly done by folder makers- rarely for fixed blades. |

Some times when I forge one really close to shape, I go ahead and HT before grinding. The better I get at forging, the more I hope to do this. It saves time, but I have to hot stamp the blades now in the rough and be sure to not grind off too much, and that takes practice. |
