I've been making fixed blades for a while, and while I'm definitely getting better, I don't see my work looking as... finished... as I'd like. I have a couple specific questions, but any general help to give me that edge (pun intended ).
First of all, how do you get such an even grind line? Usually I use my Work sharp (not meant for grinding, I know, but it kind of works) but it's hard to get a good tip on a knife with it.
Second, is there a kind of treatment or coating I can do to the steel? I use gun blueing sometimes but I don't like how it looks so much and it takes far too many coats to turn the blade darker.
Can't think of any more specific questions right now, but any help would be greatly appreciated.
