Home Forums Gear Knives and Blades beginner's guide to blade blanks?

Well, I think I got a handle on it...

I got this blade blank from Jantz, (came with an edge on it!) and some of their mosaic pins, sliced up some walnut and maple, slath'red 'em all up with west system 105/205, clamped it and walked away. It took about an hour to shape it in this morning, still needs some more love around the bolster, and without being too picky about metal polishing, I'm claiming it as a success.

I'm off to the slippery slope!
