Trying something new, I got ???'s

So, I see a lot of you guys putting clip points on blades with a not sharp but what I would call shaped false edges. So, how do you guys do it? I really like the way the false edge looks as it tapers to the point.

I was thinking, maybe my osilating drum sander and a jig of sorts.

I rough mine in free hand,then use files,then sanding blocks.

heres the list  one grinder,two files,five grits sand paper,steel blocks,sqare,leather,blue dye or magic marker,thats a start and about two hours on that nice one like Dana's.

Check page five of this topic:

A few pictures of the refinement process might help you.

You can use either a large contact wheel or even your flat platen to accomplish some primary stock removal, but leave plenty of material to tweak it by hand.

And Kevin's got it right. Lots of "stuff" and slow, tedious time to keep things centered and even on both sides.

What you want to end up with is sharp, crisp lines, and there doesn't seem to be any easy way to do it short of like described here.

Thanks Karl,for you guys in a hurry its on page 5
exactly how I do mine,Karl has shown me alot including this.
I really don't know, Karl about that Crispness thing, that may only be for M.S.  

Guys I hadn't looked (until now) at the complete process that Lin ,Karl, Doug, and the sheath maker Robin have put into this knife untill Karl posted.
What I need to say is look at every page start to finish.Very impressive (If your a beginner) this has it all.
Study some of the stuff that are at the top of the Hunting Knife Crafters  page .Almost everything a Guy needs to know is right here.

I've done 2 now and both completely by hand (might have something to do with me not having grinders, etc....).  I try and establish the angle I want and have at it with my file.  I try to go slow and methodical and check frequently that I'm staying consistent and both sides have the same angle.  I really thought it would be harder to do by hand, but I really think slow and careful wins the race for me on this one.  Good luck and have fun (and post pics)   .

Two words.  Draw filing!.  I rough them in with my grinder and then put them in the knife clamp and draw file, draw file, and then draw file some more.  That post link provided above was awesome.
