Wow, Dan, great yourself and Duncan both had such great surgeons.

Thanks heavens In the UK, there's a chance they'd have woken up with a leg missing and gender reassignment!!

I love sausage

Saturday morning breakfast just for you. Fresh sausages with a triple lamb hit as well.

File this under "ugly."

I got sick of the weird, warpy, wandering edge on this recent Twisted Assisted lamb and decided that, due to it being morbidly obese behind the edge, that the best course of action world be to kill two birds with one "stone" (har-har... actually a diamond plate) and both thin it and flatten the (what was supposed to be a) flat grind on the primary bevels.

After hours of the 'ol back and forth, the removal of much material, and goal re-targeting (I initially wanted to flatten the entire primary bevels but the blade proved too... ahem... "Twisted" - I forced myself to be satisfied with flattening the functional areas of the primaries instead) - I wound up with the pictured results. The primary bevels are flat up to the edge (except for the very tip of the pile side bevel - nothing I could do about that), the stock is thinner, and the edge is straight and sharp. The dark areas on the blade are low spots where the blade would not contact a known flat plate. Poor attempt, TA and AW&S. Poor attempt.

It's a riot to poke fun at Pakistan's sub-standard cottage cutlery industry but I must point out that I have never seen a Pakistani blade ground as poorly as this unfortunate lamb was.

She may not be pretty, but she works better now and doesn't make my head hurt every time I look upon her edge.

Good job on a very laborious task. And you now have a good work implement.

Should cut much better

Good job on a very laborious task. And you now have a good work implement.

That's true. I'm mostly impressed at how wavy they were able to get a piece of steel that I imagine started life relatively flat! I wouldn't know where to begin! I guess I'd start with a power hammer and no training...

 

[birdsbeaks]

Should cut much better

It certainly does. It will now cleanly slice a paper towel supported only on one side. That's my test. If it can do that, it's sharp enough for me. Didn't stand a chance before.

What did you use to reprofile the blade. ????

... doesn't make my head hurt every time I look upon her edge.

I find a good scotch helps...

Nice job, btw

 

[birdsbeaks]

325 grit diamond plate.

I don't trust myself to grind flat on the belt sander.

Nice horn Lamb

Thanks David.

Classic Horn, full of character.

Thanks Leon.

Fantastic composition Dwight, what a wonderful coin with your fabulous Lamb

Mighty kind of you Jack.

Good morning Guardians, my contrary WIFI seems OK today. It is only 6.30am though, so we'll see It's raining pretty steadily outside, but I need to stay in for a delivery anyway. I'm hoping that it'll clear up for when I go out this afternoon. Carrying Big Rose today Have a great day Guardians, the weekend is nearly here

Very cool key tag there Jack!

I really like the horn on this one.

Thanks. And it's the only lamb I found here in the USA. (barring Charlie's of course)

Saturday morning breakfast just for you. Fresh sausages with a triple lamb hit as well.

Oh Yeah Leon!!!
