Yes I really like those Wharnies!
Yes I’m doing stock removal and my own heat treat. I live in Canada so I order the majority of my steel from Knifemaker.ca because they’re local. But every now and then I’ll try elsewhere in the states. New Jersey steel baron, USAknifemaker, etc. I think alpha knife supply sells steel too.legOFwhat? wrote: ↑Fri Jan 03, 2020 4:35 pmGreat looking work LC! I've been wanting to get started making blades myself now that I'm more comfortable making scales/handles.
If I may ask, what brand bevel jig are you using in the picture of your grinder? I'm assuming you're doing stock removal, could I also ask your preferred source for materials?
I've got a piece 1095 I plan to play around with just as a hobby, but would love to get my grind lines as good you. Thanks for sharing.

The jig I use is a 4” grinding jig from DD work rest. They can be found on Instagram and do says through their eBay store. It’s my first jig but I really like it. I think I made a good choice when I purchased it. Of course you could always make one yourself if you didn’t want to spend the money.
I use a jig but I’m also grinding free hand. I find the jig is helping me learn how to grind better without hit if that makes sense.
Thanks again for your interest and please let me know if you have any more questions.

What steel did you use for those wharncliffes?
