I took the micro bevel off my Mora Companion HD in carbon, erroneously thinking it would make it better. It does make for a finer edge, but it sure doesn't last as long. Was searching UA-cam on the topic, and found your video. Glad I stopped by. Thanks, and take care.
what an hard core test,but the micro bevelled jacklore came through virtually unscathed. A testament to the quality of your work . thanks for sharing sandy
Your functional bush crafting knives are beautiful in every way, and your creation of a micro bevel is an invaluable tip. Thank-you so much, and I look forward to owning one of your blades when they become available again.
I own quite a few different knife makers knives and honoured also to own a Jacklore Classic. I can safely say that the Jacklore knives are the sharpest and most brilliant all round bushcraft knife you could ever own. I cannot big Jacklore up enough. The science and craftsmanship that Sandy has applied to his products is truly AMAZING.....
That was some abuse. it stood up well to the test, but other than maybe battoning. I'd only usually use mine for feather sticking. wood carving tasks etc...saw you put the bevel on it and cringed lol ...horses for courses as they say. I'm like you Sandy...prefer a Scandi grind any day...and find it therapeutic sharpening mine. Best wishes - Steve
You put the knife through a lot to make your case for the micro bevel fantastic idea I prefer scandi grinds but also like to use one knife for all my work if i can carry less great i will be trying this on mine thanks Sandy Atb Wes
I own many hand made knives that I love dearly . If I had to choose one for the rest of my life it would be my Jacklore hands down . You're simply the BEST my friend . Like you I prefer a scandi over any other edge . Nice to know this is an option if needed . ATB to you my friend ! Steven
Hi Sandy, You suggested a micro bevel to me some time ago. I was always afraid to try it in case I messed up my Jacklore. Now that you have demonstrated it I think I'll give it a go. Many thanks, Kevin
Hi Kevin, It will transform the edge, the slight change in apex angle will really increase the edge strength and also retention so if you should run against bone there will be much less chance of damage. The micro bevel needs to be only minimal.
And this is why your knives are in such high demand Sandy, I've seen no one put their blades through such tests as you've put yours through over the years, there practically indestructible mate, nice tip on putting a micro bevel on them, but personally I will always use my Golok or axe for chopping, cheers mate, atb.
Jackloreknives That's it mate, as tough as it is, it is a cutting tool and I don't like to abuse my knife, I do like my Jacklore cheers Sandy, atb mate.
Mr Sandy! you were mean to that poor little knife blade! It did however handle all of it with ease! :-D and that is why I want one of YOUR knives! I know there are other fine knife makers in the UK, that put just as much care and attention into each blade they make. Yours were the first hand made custom knives that I had seen (OK! It was via UA-cam, but still!) and when I found out WHERE in the UK you are based, I HAVE to get one, or two! I was born not far from you at the RAF Hospital where my dad was serving in the Air Force back in the day. So for me there is a little nostalgia there as well. So, I do hope to buy a "Classic" and a "Wasp" from you, I know I will miss out on any you make available for the next month or two as I HAVE to rebuild my wife's PC as her died over a year ago, then she was using my laptop and that just up and DIED! so she is sharing mine now, which is not the most convenient set-up! Any way, loved the video, and Have a good one! :-) Kev B.
YEP!!! :-) That was the one! I heard that they tore it all down and built some community centre and houses on what was the site... OH WELL!!! :-) folks have got to live somewhere! Have a good one Mr Sandy! :-) Kev B.
1) An Axe is for chopping. 2) The thing people call a Micro Bevel on a Mora knife is actually from the swarf removal tool cleaning the edge during production. And contrary to popular belief, Mora knives don't come razor sharp. 3) A Scandinavian grind is the cheapest and fastest way to put an adequate edge on a piece of steel.
Hi Ade, Thanks for your comment but I have to disagree with you quite strongly on the comment about the Scandinavian or Norwegian grind. It is a grind that is specific for the purpose of cutting and carving wood. As such it excels and there is no other in my opinion thats is as effective as the scandi for that particular purpose. For food and game the Scandi can be pressed to service but it is not the best. Perhaps a convex, flat or hollow is better there. It's horses for courses and your comment was sweeping . True in some aspects, but completely wrong in others!
Jackloreknives I never said there was anything wrong with a scandi grind. Many of my knives are scandi grind and they are fine. I was simply stating for the audience that some folk think that scandi is the be all and end all of knife grinds, when it is not. Horses for courses. Outdoors men carry half a dozen knives, all for different purposes. My fish filleting knife is hollow ground, my stockman pocket knife is flat ground, my mora 510 is scandi, my parang is convex. My Glock knife is convex and hollow. Each have their use. So, Sandy, there is no argument - we are on the same page. I just hope that people can understand what I write. Some people think that Nordic boreal forest is the home of all things good when there is lots of countries with good kit and ideas. We, the Vikings, are not Gods of Bushcraft and I wish people would stop thinking that. Again, I repeat - Mora knives are not 2ndry bevel ground, there is a finishing tool that removes swarf off the edge. And again I repeat and stand by : A scandi edge is an adequate and efficient method for putting a satisfactory edge on a blade. NB : I never said they were no good. I love sharpening all mine. My strongest point I wish to make is that a knife is a knife. It's not an axe. I believe in being prepared and using the right tool for the job. Other people should copy my example before they follow all the internet experts out there and just try to have 1 knife for everything that includes chopping. Knives are for cutting, slicing, dicing, pearing and slitting. Axes are for chopping. What do you think ? I am on your side and have no argument with you. :-)
Both my Mora knives were extremely sharp out of the box! And whilst being one of the lowest priced knives out there they can take a lot of misuse and abuse, including battening if careful! Have a good one! :-) Kev B.
Kev B Mora's are excellent quality Sandvik steel. They also come very sharp. My most used knife which goes with me each time I travel between the Nordics and Australian forests is my KJ Eriksson Mora 2mm Carbon steel knife. They really are fantastic quality the old Mora's. Congratulations on having Mora fishing knives, you have quality.
3 is probably right for barstock, thinking about it. My mora is the sharpest knife I've ever held, as a young adult who grew up in the suburbs and can't sharpen a knife for shit.
Nice to see a knife being put through its paces and come out smiling...if you want to get rid of that old abused knife Sandy, I would be more than happy to take it off your hands! No need to do anything more to it, I have some native rimu for a handle lying around from a house renovation.
Hi Shelley, It may have looked old and abused but the edge was as good as new. I have fitted it with a lovely piece of stabilised walnut root and black liners.
I just received a Ahti leuku 180 from Finland, and it seems it does have a small micro bevel on it, so im a bit confused as to how to sharpen it, if I use a spyderco sharpmaker it will have a bigger microbevel 20 degrees per side, if I use a water stone it will become a slightly convexed edge. Should I sharpen it as a true scandy grind and then use a spyderco sharpening rod to get a small micro bevel? Your video helped a lot.
I remember coming across some wood as hard as bloody iron in S.Island new Zealand - dry as a bone by the river - we wanted a fire - I had a go at it and it took about three minutes constant drumming at it to go through. We ended up just feeding the stuff lengthways as it burned (it burned hot and made good cooking coals). Would a 20 degree micro bevel make sense on a 3.5mm thick heavier bush crafter like a caastrom no10?
Thanks for the advice. One question : should i maintain the micro bevel iteself frome time to time or shoud i resharpen the primary scandi bevel of the knive evrytime before i reset a micro bevel of this kind ? Thanks in advance !
It's worth it Mike. Will make the grind a lot tougher. I have also in the past put a slightly heavier Micro bevel on my knife and used it to chop a penny in half with no edge damage.
Hi Gary, Over time your strop will round over the cutting edge creating a kind of secondary convex micro bevel. The ceramic rod just does it quicker and keeps the micro bevel flatter. Ray Mears runs his knife across the door window of his landrover. I hasten to add though that the Micro bevel is really tiny and can easily be sharpened out to restore the flat grind. But even though it is a tiny micro, it will strengthen the edge several fold and require less sharpening and you will still have very good cutting power. I am not such a fan of heavier micro bevels as they just don't seem to be quite as sharp as a Scandi.
hello Sandy, was wondering what your intervals are for sharpening/maintaining your micro beveled edges? Do you shape up the edge after a lot of abuse or every time after using? I plan to use a ceramic rod to put a micro bevel on my scandi.
Hi Cara, The edge seems to hold up well with only stropping required. After prolonged use the will need to be resharpened but I have had folk tell me the knives have stayed sharp for months with just stropping and that is on normal scandis. But bear in mind that stropping will eventually slightly convex an edge anyway. The ceramic rod is good for putting on the smallest of micros which is all you need to toughen up the edge.
Bravo vos couteaux sont beaux et coupant, mais si je veux couper un arbre j'utilise une scie à chaine, si ve veux couper une branche, j'utilise une scie et si je veux couper une tranche de fromage, je n'ai pas besoin d'un couteau si coupant, je ne vois pas ce que tous les couteliers on à "triper" sur un couteau coupant, un couteau a ses limites et éviscérer un orignal n'a rien de comparable à couper une feuille de papier, félicitation quand même vous faites de beaux couteaux
Hi Sandy, you must be psychic! I made a scandi grind knife from a kit my son gave to me as a present 2 years ago and the edge is great, I also have a Mora as a general tool for hunting. The Mora lost it's edge the other day and it took ages to get it back using water stones. I was toying with a micro bevel but persevered with keeping the scandi edge and it is now ok. Will a micro bevel work on one of these cheap and cheerful knives? Also, if you strop a micro bevel do you follow the micro bevel or the Scandi grind edge? Do keep these videos coming as they are great to watch. I look forward to your reply. ATB.
Hi Geoff, Yes you can apply a micro bevel to a Mora. To keep it sharp just touch up the micro bevel with a strop of ceramic stone trying to follow the micro bevel. I would only apply the tiniest of Micro bevels though because there may come a time when you want to revert to scandi, or to just thin the old Scandi grind back a bit, so with use you are going to need to sharpen back the old grind angle to maintain the geometry. The plus side is that the Micro bevel will take longer to go dull and therefore the knife will need less sharpening and will therefore last longer. Hope that is clear. I am not good at explaining things:)
Anal question? Looks like an Ikea ceramic rod? If so, great choice! £18 compared to £60 for whustof or Global! I've been using mine for a couple of years now & always works flawlessly.
I reckon I may need look into a ceramic rod. I have the little diamond ones... But, always liked the idea there's more than one way to skin that poor cat ...
Hi Will, Would you like me to put a micro on your knife? Done the sheath today. Blade is finished, just need to glue the scales on and shape them, then wet mold and it's done:)
Do you have "MACRO" mode on your stills camera? I recently up graded my almost 15 year old camera to one with macro mode and it is fantastic! Have a good one! :-) Kev B.
I used to sharpen all my army buddies knives and that micro bevel always helped them last a lot longer between sharpenings.
I took the micro bevel off my Mora Companion HD in carbon, erroneously thinking it would make it better. It does make for a finer edge, but it sure doesn't last as long. Was searching UA-cam on the topic, and found your video. Glad I stopped by. Thanks, and take care.
That must be just about the most severe test I've ever seen - very impressive.
Thanks Sandy.
Noel
what an hard core test,but the micro bevelled jacklore came through virtually unscathed.
A testament to the quality of your work . thanks for sharing sandy
The high pitched sound of the blade hitting that wood at the beginning made me flinch - that stuff is HARD. Hell of a test!
Your functional bush crafting knives are beautiful in every way, and your creation of a micro bevel is an invaluable tip. Thank-you so much, and I look forward to owning one of your blades when they become available again.
I would not have believed that to be possible. What a magnificent blade! With love, Ken
I own quite a few different knife makers knives and honoured also to own a Jacklore Classic. I can safely say that the Jacklore knives are the sharpest and most brilliant all round bushcraft knife you could ever own. I cannot big Jacklore up enough. The science and craftsmanship that Sandy has applied to his products is truly AMAZING.....
Many thanks Andy. Nothing pleases me more than to know customers are happy.
Sandy
That was some abuse. it stood up well to the test, but other than maybe battoning. I'd only usually use mine for feather sticking. wood carving tasks etc...saw you put the bevel on it and cringed lol ...horses for courses as they say. I'm like you Sandy...prefer a Scandi grind any day...and find it therapeutic sharpening mine. Best wishes - Steve
I have to say all I have had to do to mine is a strop and its been used well. The Jacklore works well many thanks for sharing the skills,
Amazing craftsmanship. What you produce is a knife for life and even to pass on to future generations this what I plan to do. It's a legacy
Or and I keep a track on Instagram always a good heads up for when they will be on etsy
More proof of why my Jacklore is my favorite knife. Well done Sandy!
You put the knife through a lot to make your case for the micro bevel fantastic idea I prefer scandi grinds but also like to use one knife for all my work if i can carry less great i will be trying this on mine thanks Sandy Atb Wes

Hi Steven,
Thankyou. I hope all is well your end.
Take care

Sir I'd say that is the fastest chopping I've ever seen lol 😂 love your work!
Hi Sandy,

Now that you have demonstrated it I think I'll give it a go.

That's a superb bit of kit Sandy.
Thank you Sir. Best regards from Russia
Great info Sandy...
I was amazed......
Cheers. Kim....
One of the finest knifemakers!
Many thanks John
Great video Sandy!
Thank you for video. Very helpful to any scandi grind user
And this is why your knives are in such high demand Sandy, I've seen no one put their blades through such tests as you've put yours through over the years, there practically indestructible mate, nice tip on putting a micro bevel on them, but personally I will always use my Golok or axe for chopping, cheers mate, atb.
If you use axe or gollock for chopping that means your using your knife for it's designed purpose:) Cutting.
Thanks Paul.
Sandy
Jackloreknives That's it mate, as tough as it is, it is a cutting tool and I don't like to abuse my knife, I do like my Jacklore cheers Sandy, atb mate.
you are a master of knife making Sandy,,,
Very nice, master. Thanks for sharing.
As long as it's a 'Jacklore' you will have no problems. Thanks for sharing Sandy. atvb t ..

great video sandy. what compound do you use on the strop if you dont mind me asking?

What angle is the main bevel cut at and how thick is the steel? Very impressive!
Im also getting a ceramic rod Lol

Hi Will,
Would you like me to put a micro on your knife? Done the sheath today. Blade is finished, just need to glue the scales on and shape them, then wet mold and it's done:)
If it's not too much trouble Sandy... and not too hard to maintain. My hands aren't the most reliable in the world. Damn things are a bit wrecked.
Tis easy to do and easy to maintain. It;s a win win.:)
Great vid Sandy, can I come see those knives? I want to put an order in for a wasp with a grind for skinning. invite me when its convenient mate. C
What angle was this ground at before microbevel? Thank you
around 13 dps
Jackloreknives very good!
"dps" = Degrees per side??
thanks
Like to see the micro bevel under a microscope
Will do Micro Kid:)
those two passes with the ceramic rod, great sound, you can hear the molecules shearing off
Do you have "MACRO" mode on your stills camera? I recently up graded my almost 15 year old camera to one with macro mode and it is fantastic! Have a good one! :-) Kev B.
just shows , you cant beat a quality ENGLISH made knife 🔪👌
Thanks Martin. Some good makers around the globe but we must also sing the praises of our own kin.
What steel is that blade made from?
01 Eric
correctly heat treated, tempered and de-stressed.......
I am useless when it comes to sharpening or maintaining a edge on a blade, thanks for sharing. Ceramic rod it is then PEACE :-)
You only need to dress the edge very lightly Aidy. Ceramic rods from Ikea are good.
“There are no cuts in this clip” the clip is nothing BUT cuts, lol. Sry.
