Beaver knife round 2

I don't have an upright variable speed belt sander or the type of grinder Jackie uses. The best thing I could come up with was my die grinder. I laid the knife flat on the bench and thinned the blade again. The die grinder works ok, it's infinitely variable so I could go slow. I think laying the knife on the bench also helped to pull the heat out of the blade. I've got lots of hours on that grinder so I'm used to it and my technique is good.




I followed that up with a few hours of grinding and polishing with my water stones. It took a long time but it's what I had to work with. I think it turned out decent.
