guarnera Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 A while back I saw a tutorial on putting the clip ( false edge ) on a knife. I tought it was on Dons web sight, but can't seem to find it. Does anyone know where to find it? Thanks. :banghead: Tony G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guarnera Posted November 2, 2005 Author Share Posted November 2, 2005 Is this the one you are looking for? Kevin Cashen - Forging 33991[/snapback] No thats not what I was looking for, but it was interesting just the same. Thanks. The one I was looking for was more on grindig, or filing in the false edge on the clip after forgiing and initial grinding. Oh well, I guess I can figure it out myself. I'll probably file it in. Its going to be a long curved false edge on a big persian style fighter. But thanks anyway. Tony G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillip Jones Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 At one point, Tai had a good drawing of how he sets clip ponits in with a hammer. Maybe he will chime in and post it again.

B. Norris Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 I vaguely recall a thread where someone asked if it worked better to hammer them in or grind after the quench. The consensus was that, IF, they were put in on one side only, like many of the antique bowies, it was better to grind after heat treat. I would just draw file them, it will give you nice, crisp, lines, it is fast and easy to control. “All work is empty save when there is love, for work is love made visible.” Kahlil Gibran "It is easier to fight for one's principles than to live up to them." - Alfred Adler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beau Erwin Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Someone care to define the clip (false edge) is it when there's a bevel along the top that almost looks like it could be sharpened but usually isn't?
