Thanks for that 000Robert. Don’t ask me why but i am going for 15 degrees which means i have to use the top holes as a minimum otherwise i am grinding my vice (I wish they still made riser blocks.). As it is i found an old chamois cloth and used that instead of tape, it gives me the grip needed to stop my knife from moving plus i can use it over and over. The photos are appreciated though for some of my other knives in the future, once again thankyou.
Hi there 000Robert. That is a nice looking knife. When you do get around to clamping it let me know how you work around the blood groove. the reason i ask is i have been trying for ages trying to clamp my Buck 119 which also has the groove. The vice does not have enough steel to grip properly if you clamp over the groove and if you try forward of the groove the tip is way to low to be practical. If you already have any insight to solving this issue could you please let me know, thanks.
Thanks MarcH, i did get a USB Microscope two days ago and going through the learning curve of interpreting what i see. What i do see is my scratch marks are nowhere as neat as others i have seen in this forum which comes back to practice, patience and perseverance. Once again thankyou.
Thankyou MarcH for your quick response. I am using the DXL360s cube which does take forever to settle but that aside, i have been following all of the advice you gave me. It is probably the advice i read in one of your previous posts. It seems i need to work on my consistency and needed to be reminded of that, i thank you for your time and council.
