Hey Lin I've been busy here in wy making knives can't seem to stay ahead of things, Lin all of my knives are hollow ground, would like to try flat grinding a knife could use a little instruction, are you doing this with files or with a flat grinding platform? any instruction would be helpful Thanks Wild Bill

[Lin Rhea]

For a minute I thought I was in trouble.   :eek:  

Bill, I use a flat platten on my KMG knife grinder and then hand sand with a variety of backing stick from hard (Osage) to soft leather faced to allow for the need. Of course I sometimes use files when I have to.

Let us see a knife or two if you get time. We're glad to have you Bill.

LIN THANKS FOR THE REPLY I USE A CENTER LINE WHEN I HOLLOW GRIND IS THIS THE SAME PROCEDURE THAT YOU WOULD USE FOR FLAT GRIND?

[Lin Rhea]

Yes Bill. With your experience at hollow grinding, you should catch on in no time.

Bill,
I do both flat & hollow grinds.  Just for kicks take one of your Botched up (if you have one) hollow grinds and flat grind it.  You will be amazed how easy it is.  Good starting point...tippit
