First Three Knives
« on: April 28, 2008, 01:19:00 PM »
These are the first three I've made got KMG grinder set up a few days ago.
Top one is 3.75" blade8.25" oa ( old file)
Middle is 3.5" blade and8.5" oa (old file)
Bottom is 4"  blade and 8" oa (5160)
They are not real good yet,but here they are.
Any suggestions would be helpfull.
 Thanks to Dan and Linn for the suggestions they have gave me.

Kevin,
      I especially like the one in the middle. It's a great start. Keep up the good work.
