Thanks Ray.
Yes, I posted them for sale in the classifieds. We started building them in volume months ago when we discovered that prices for these grinders was still in the "semi-ridiculous" range. We have have been using these grinders for years and I am being literal when I say we use them nearly every day. I use the grinders in my shop mainly for fabrication and could not do what I do without one!
We've met some extremely talented knife makers over the years and almost always, discovered they were turning out GORGEOUS blades with minimal tools. Every time we asked why they did use a 2"x72" grinder, the answers are almost always the cost factor. We simply want to get some quality grinders to the smiths that could really benefit from them, without the hefty price attached. We now build them in batches of eight. We start building more when we get down to two grinders.
