      Epic design ideology and the leopard wood set it off. Very cool. Curious about the leopard wood, it looked like it was semi soft, the belt looked like it was wearing it away like pine or cedar. Is it? I haven't used any yet, and was wondering. Every now and then I find a decent deal on it and haven't pulled the trigger yet.

    I wanted a Hunting knife for my friend as a Birthday gift because he is a great hunter. I searched a lot and in the end, saw a knife which is the perfect gift for every situation.
    The knife I purchased was absolutely beautiful! Well crafted and heavier than I expected. The blade material was pure in quality and the handle was made from natural wood. I bought this from Almazan Knives. My friend And I are both really satisfied with their product.

    I find hand sanding “abrasive” too! That made me chuckle. I’d really like to explore the concept that worn out belt make wandering grinds. I figured it was more me having an off day, but if I can blame it on worn belts, I might be able to justify buying belts more often. Thanks for another great video!

    If your Belts have the generic Butt Splice, purchase them next time with a SineLok Splice. The splice is a wavy line just as a Sine Wave and should eliminate any issues with the fine finishes your knives require. SineLok is a 3M Trademark. The color of the Belt your using leads me to believe that you may be using an Aluminum Oxide product..?
    For the materials your working with, consider changing to Zirconia or a full Ceramic Abrasive Product.
    Aluminum Oxide is not a long lasting mineral when used on the harder materials like that Blade Steel. Zirc would be an improvement and Ceramic would provide a high initial cut rate, long life as well as a built in Grinding Aid that reduces heat generation during use. You know that would be helpful to you.
    Love your work. Very, very cool.

You've given me ideas for keeping my kitchen blades cared for and your handle making for my own wood working projects. Course I have to do most of the work by hand.

    • @thomasarussellsr
      @thomasarussellsr 2 роки тому

      Hey, working by hand only means you make the mistakes more slowly, giving you more time to catch them before going too far. Power tools make mistakes so quickly that we waste materials.
      [With the exception of a coal forge. They burn the steel much more quickly than a gas forge.]
