Emerson Mini A-100 Chisel grind GONE!

Man, that’s very impressive… Beautiful.

Can you provide some measurements for the width behind the edge and at the spine?

Did you remove the chisel because it was hard to sharpen or because you just prefer dual bevel?

I prefer the dual bevel. Its actually very easy to sharpen. All you do is sharpen the beveled side and then knock the burr off of the other side. Its really easier than a dual bevel to sharpen.The chisel grind just doesn’t do certain cuts very well….in my opinion. I like a slicer! :)[/quote]

High praise for taking on this project, lwaller.

It just goes to show that you understand edge geometry and sharpening as a science. Not only that, but you’re obviously well capable of providing a physical example to back up your knowledge and understanding… Once again. I’m highly impressed!

lwaller1980,

Very nice! How do you get your tip so perfect? I’d love to see a video with explanation on how you accomplish it. Great work.

^^^ Yeah, man, what he said!!! ^^^

Not sure. Just scrubbing at the beginning of each grit. Then alternating strokes with each grit. The key to a sharp tip (I believe) is to work the tip just as you work the base of the blade. I put extra pressure on the back of the paddle with my thumb and get as close to the tip as possible without having the paddle scrape over the edge….ruining your tip. Another key is my diamond stones….they are well worn in which has made a tremendous difference in the finish I have been getting.

Thanks for the reply.

I’m still waiting on those measurements though… So, get ‘crackin!!! :woohoo:
