Members walter roth Posted August 6, 2013 Members Report Posted August 6, 2013 Hi Trox So here in Switzerland, it is always possible to have prepared such blades. There are knife makers here do that. Moreover, they are always made with hollow ground here, because the blades are perfectly polished, otherwise you can not take the plane. The hollow grind is better than the normal straight flat grind, but he must be made to the grindstone with a machine, and absolutely accurate. The final grinding operation is always the leather strop like the razor with me. So should anyone ever have problems with knives, just ask, I can help. Gate, if you ever have a problem with knives, send it to the company that works perfectly. He has experience with all the knives for saddlery. I know it's Awkward, but then usually done for years.

Members walter roth Posted August 6, 2013 Members Report Posted August 6, 2013 Hi Tor The old knives were only the front of the cutting hard, because they were made of 2 parts. Back was normal steel and the blade ..... maybe 2 inches wide, was forged in the fire. If one makes the old knife clean, you can see the seam where they were forged together. This was made at that time, because you could not drill through the hard steel blade. So you just did it in two parts. Today, however, one can make the blade from a piece of hard steel, and cut with a laser, the holes ..... or the shape around ........ Even today one can also mill very hard metals, grinding, etc. So, who wants to make a knife today, there has been much easier. greeting Walter
