It looks to me like some could be very tough <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />. Vic/ Tolly/ Jeff ? Or- maybe is a dumb question <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />? Just looking at different size/ shape blades looks like could be very difficult. Great work <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> KILLER DAWGS JYD# 61

Horn Dog Junk Yard Dog Joined: Feb 2007 Posts: 14,586 Georgia	The problem with coated thick saber ground blades is that the belt makes some contact with the coating up on the blade. This can't be helped if you're trying to get a more acute edge angle. Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

I am not up to doing belt sander yet as some of the pros on here- but maybe down the road. At any rate-I took the knives out to do some " mild" chopping and I dulled them pretty darn quick <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />. I am thinking I know what I did wrong- so back at it again <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" />. Hey- at least I didn't mess them up on a sander <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />. That is why I don't have one yet-I should probably just send them to one of the Sharp Dawgs- but I am learning on some beaters as I don't want to mess up my good steel <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />. Thanks KILLER DAWGS JYD# 61
