where they the flex serrated steak knifes or the stiffer ones. and last q. how was it grinding it. did it heat up real quick. i haven't used my grinder in a while. i use files and i make two at a time so as soon as i feel a little heat i switch picks. it takes forever and then when i mess one up it drives me nuts.
i dont mean to bombard you with questions. I'm just buzzen first time in a year.
thanks
They are a bit thicker but not much which makes them much sturdier then the hpc or peterson. I like it a lot. I will get some photos up soon, tomorrow I will have some more time.
I did not have to grind down the thickness at all. It was even across the blade. But I did grind towards the middle of the blade. That is where the thickness is pretty even. I will post a picture of the knives too. They were cheap steak knives, but are stiff, stiffer then my hpc and peterson. I hope I can find more because they were pretty easy to work with.
Grinding them was pretty easy. Yes they heat up quickly. I would dump them in water after about 12 seconds, they don't get red, just hot. I used the finer coarse wheel. I probably could have used the dremel to cut them down to size but did not want a sharp hot piece of knife hitting me. The dremel came in handy for fine tuning.
Good idea making two at a time!
