All blades are 3.5mm 01 tool steel



First up is one of my NSK (neck survival knife blades) with a scandi grind just needs a little polish then its all finished




Next up are two NSK blades with high and full flat grinds and one GPK (general purpose knives) with a nice high grind and secondary bevel


Two more carving blades on the bench ready to be worked on


A few mor blade ready for handles


Next is a yew handled NSK that is waiting for brass fittings




And finally a sambar stag handled NSK in the process of curing after being glued up




And a few pics of my poor grinder after all the hard work its done and after the adjustments made to the table as parts had to be ground down as they were catching




Many thanks Alex
