a couple of little ones
« on: March 04, 2008, 11:35:00 PM »
Here's what I call my 'lil sharpie.  A 2" blade,440c, with a brazilian cherry handle/ yellow liners.
 
Next is a 2.5"  440c droppoint, with brass bolster and cocobolo handle.  Ready to BLOODY UP.
Thanks for looking!
Dan

Thanks!  Farmboy, I wouldn't call anything I make perfect, but the hollow grinds just take practice. I found that using sharp belts, and leaning into it hard helps (more pressure when grinding).  Can mess up fast, but it'll make the "groove" faster, just stay in the groove after that.
