Feb 26, 2021 · the blade shape is pretty simple, you can see that the bevel gets wider towards the tip and that means that the angle of the grind is changing slightly but it could be the same width all the way and still be fine. the widening grind does look nice though and it would make the blade slightly thinner where the bevel is wider. once you set up your ...

Dec 31, 2012 · The Bubble Jig is not a jig at all, its a different way of referencing the grind. The grinder uses a sight reference as opposed to; what is the reference when free hand grinding, guessing I guess.
