    So it’s just epoxy holding the grip on? No pin or mechanical connection?

    Muy lindo trabajo Sr. Felicitaciones. Me gustó que dejara esas partes en la hoja sin devastar, muestran el paso del tiempo y quedan muy bien.

    Nice job. Is there a particular reason why knife bevels are often ground with the edge pointing up (when the belt is going downwards)?

    • @Sam-zw5fh

      DIYCoolStuff its to prevent having a bur on your newly ground edge, there is still a possibility of having burs this way, but its easier to get rid of them and keep a clean, sharp edge.

    If you de-rust the blade with a wire wheel, electrolysis, vinegar or acid, your sandpaper belts will last longer and not clog up with all that loose stuff. Also, if you flatten the edge, it should be able to hit all the cutting surface of the board, instead of leaving a high spot in the middle. Good to see the knife kept alive.

    I like the way you left some of that dark pitting and then polished around it, gives it a cool rugged contrast

    Soak it in vinagar, overnight. Before you do anything else, it will save you a lot of time.

    I like leaving the pitting. It would have looked totally different if it were sanded completely new.

  • @AstroBlakeD
    @AstroBlakeD 7 лет назад

    im pretty sure you could have put that in a vinegar bath for about 24 hours and scrubbed most of the rust off with a wire brush.

    Lack of final touch. Restoration can't be completed without shining mettalic part of the knife.

    • @cavebeastdemon3631
      @cavebeastdemon3631 7 лет назад +4

      Jude Bandstra - An ax is not a knife. If you don’t want to go home and get an ax then this knife will work. Plus you can use it for many other things.

    • @judebandstra3169
      @judebandstra3169 7 лет назад +4

      Oh my bad I didn’t realize that an axe wasn’t a knife

    • @unimportant9477
      @unimportant9477 7 лет назад

      Jude Bandstra a knife would be much more light and versatile than an axe, it would also have multi uses. Do you understand now?
