---"Geometry, Heat Treat, Edge Finish trumps all!"

I think most of this crowd is getting to see that point, but still tooo many think the magic is all in the steel alone.


---"Most of the popular makers on here don't grind enough!"

The first custom I bought (40+ years ago) acquired a chip in the edge much to my surprise and dismay.
Probably as much my fault as blade failure, but.......
So, that probably played at least a partial role in my first blades.
I tended to leave the cutting edge toooo thick from the bevel grind.

A couple years back, I started going thinner with the material at the cutting edge and it sure helps with the
sharpness of the cutting edge -----and I have not heard of anyone having any chipping.
Of course they probably use the knife in a more proper manner than I did 40 years ago,

Should anyone have one of my knives that they would like the blade thinned down a bit, I would be happy to do
that if you ship it to me.
No charge for the work and I will pay for the return shipping.

Thanks
Tim
