  • Very nice! I love that finish, and there's something so satisfying about watching a tumbler swallow the blade.

  • Did you ever upgrade from your previous grinder. I know I messaged you a while back and at the time you weren’t liking your current setup and sounded like you were looking into a new setup. What do you use for a heat treat oven? I’m just starting with premade blanks and working on my handle skills, it’s definitely a learning curve. Keep up the good work. @JonNiebuhr13

  • Do you have a favorite handle material you like to use ,if so what makes it better than other materials. I feel like some of the stabilized wood/combined handle materials are definitely more challenging. @JonNiebuhr13

    @jonniebuhr8187@jonniebuhr81879 ай бұрын

    • I’d say favorite would be terotuf cause it smells good when grinding. And as far as looks I do like all the combo handles.

    @jamaki604@jamaki6049 ай бұрын

    • Yeah the acid darkens the blade and the stonewash scuffs off the oxides to give that scratched up finish.
