In the latest installment of Richard tries to make a knife, I wanted to work on the handle tonight. Instead, by trying to fix a small section of scratches, I managed to completely cock up my flat grind on one side of the blade because my freehand grinding skills still suck. I ended up chasing a small issue into a giant pile o’ shit. I found a good way to pivot out of my predicament though by using a dremel to texturise the top part of the blade and mostly cleaning up the edge before buffing it into a matt finish. I’m actually really happy with the end result. Now that all the grinding is done, all I need to do is put a handle on and the final sharpening (not to say that the blade isn’t already sharp enough to slice part of my palm open – happily only superficially).
