Sure is quiet in here....do I need to start a fight?

Looks like I might be making some money with this knife making thing. My dad has ordered a fallkniven f1 clone, Scandi grind. I may have a few others coming up soon. Time to go put together a grinding jig.

The F1 is convex grind which makes it a good hunting knife , I don't think that a scandi grind would be a good grind for that blade style but the next fellow may love it , the bare blades have a larger handle for scales than the thermoplastic grip .
Knifemaking - How to make a knife bevel - YouTube , about as basic as it gets for a grinding jig (Sorry John) .
I think a Scandi grind would be more suited on a Woodlore type or traditional blade style but that's just my preference .
I like my S1 , BRKT Highland Special , Enzo Trapper , multiple Mora's , multiple Grohmann's , Puma's , Polar blade's ...............Hey ! I got more knives than saws ............ Maybe .

He already has a duc custom for a hunting knife, he wants this for bushcraft. He wanted a scandi grind on it, it will be mainly used like a mora.( carving, camp craft, making fires) I am a fan of flat grinds myself, but he asked for the same edge as a mora. I am not sure if it really is a true scandi, he always puts a tiny micro bevel on them.

:msp_scared:...... It's a sad day

I learned that running my Swede saw sucks and to make sure that when one is steeling rocks to make sure that it is centred in the bucket when traversing uneven ground LOL

Well , it still moves on three wheels LOL
Keep your eyes open for a good 5 to 6 hp motor so I can finish Doug's woodsplitter , it's the last piece I need , my Honda 5hp is older and smokes a bit at higher speed .

[tbone75]

Don't think I will get the 5000 glued together tonight. Had a buddy just leave me 4 more whackers !



















































Just for parts !

5hp with a 11gpm 2 stage pump is all you need , 16 hp with that setup is no advantage other than burning more gas .
Now if you had a 16gpm pump

Would an 8 hp snowblower engine be ok?
