blade edge how?
I have completed my second lockback and I am almost finished with my first slipjoint what does everyone use to put a edge on the blade after it has been ground?
thanks |

A 120 grit belt on the belt grinder. After the edge is established strop the edge to remove the burr left by the belt.
Congratulations on finishing. |

Most my fellow makers hand hold it, I use a jig for repeatable angles.
