Members Chris623 Posted September 20, 2020 Author Members Report Posted September 20, 2020 Thanks, Chuck. I filed the bevels by hand on this one. "Had" to sell it because I was saving money for my 2x72. (another toy for the shop) I'm sure you know how it goes! The more toys the better, but they cost.

Members Chris623 Posted September 20, 2020 Author Members Report Posted September 20, 2020 Ha-ha. She refuses to let me make any kitchen knives for her because she'll just cut herself. She uses dull bargain store steak knives to do all her kitchen stuff. Hurts my feelings, because as you say I could easily provide custom kitchen cutlery for her. Told her I've got a nice paring knife in the process for her and she asked "WHY??? You know I won't use it." Oh well, "the worst shoes in town are on the cobbler's son".
