Thread: First ever knife grid

Great First knife
I’m gonna be making my first proper knife this holidays since I’ve finnaly got my charcoal forge built and my workshop/tools set up. I have made a few practice blades just to figure out the basics but didn’t take any to seriously so if they bent or warped I wouldn’t be to sad.

Few questions I’ve got
What type of belt grinder do you have eg: 2x72, 4x36, homemade, brought
Also how long did u temper the 1075 in the oven for(time/tempature)

I didn’t really know there were any beginner knife makers in NZ so this made me happy seeing I wasn’t the only one.
Any Knifemakers a few hours from levin?
