Last night i grind this one .Shallow hollow grind .Steel is 52100 , 3.5 mm thick and 0.25- 0.30 behind edge .I don t understand why there is not that much knives grind that way ? Much easier to grind , much less heat , belt would last much longer , better cutter .....endless advantage ?You know what would make this knife look better? A nice ,broad ,shallow ,smooth ,subtle hollow grind like it looks like your knife has!
Don't blame me ................... you asked for it , so enjoy If i clean shop now , i will never finish some small project started and now parts for them are lying on the floor .......Nice initiative. I'd really like to se more shop tours from people on here. I enjoy it.

What you don t see /other place / my almost finished low vacuum HT furnace , my unfinished mill roll , sand pot furnace .....i need to look what more was there....
Finally got around trying the new 500 mm / 20" wheel grinder. Also first time grinding a blade on a wheel instead of platen. I quite like it. This is 2.5 mm / 0.1" stock. It leaves a pretty discrete hollow.
Here’s a hunting/survival knife I’m working on next to the template the customer gave me to work from. I still have a little work left, and ended up giving it a FFG since this picture was taken like the template shows. The blade steel is 8670, and it will get a set of textured G10 scales held on by Chicago screws.
I never let the belt touch it...Nice grind. My thought though is that it is unnatural that your file guide looks that nice and clean
More then 40 years I think ...........that was my father shop used as car service then , it is 8 x 5 meters.There I learn what I know today about automobiles..........only god knows how many gearboxes I hold on my shoulders in that channel .
In that case you don t need it , so why you still use itI never let the belt touch it...

That looks crazy fine even for used 40.

What you see is belt finish on when new was 40 grit ceramic belt ............
I am really liking this geometry too. I made this blade from 3.4 mm AEB-L. Hollow on 500 mm wheel to 0.25 mm thick then convexed that last part with Scotchbrite belt to 0.15 mm before sharpening 17 degrees per side 1200 grit. Deburr on felt wheel. Tried on some magazine paper. Not extreme but strong & slicy enough.Last night i grind this one .Shallow hollow grind .Steel is 52100 , 3.5 mm thick and 0.25- 0.30 behind edge .I don t understand why there is not that much knives grind that way ?

Thanks, it's a useful profile! I tweaked it a bit with some belly and handle lift, feels good!Scaniaman, I like your Wharncliffe style!
