Well done, the precurve worked out exactly right come the beveling. That distal taper on the blade stuck in (didn't see it being forged. An no before you look, I don't do vid's of forging, just MW5.

[@JPsBladeworks]

Thank you for watching

Yeah. I alway have my handles come apart when grinding when they have brass, copper or other metal in them like that. Before i glue them on.
Since then metal gets so hot when grinding it makes the epoxy fail. Pretty annoying, but i get around it.

[@JPsBladeworks]

Yes its very annoying.

[@irongastelum6202]

Where do you live brother?

[@ajhearn4535]

dont know if you are aware of this, when you put metal in your handles, steel brass or copper, they heat up fast and will break the glue bond so they are a pain to do unless you take your time and keep it cool

[@JPsBladeworks]

Yes i learned this the hard way. I need to be more patient and take a fresh sharp belt and nice and slow. Or a file works as well.
