Hey all,
My Scandi grinds dont have a secondary Edge bevel like say my flat Ground blades have.
WHat i do with a scandi grind is , I grind it to Zero on my finish grind to were a slight burr developes, then when i bead blast the blade it Blasts the wire edge away. The shiney edge you see happens because i lightly hit the edge on a ceramic to just bring it back to sharp a bit. YOu can still sharpen the whole bevel if you choose.
The COating i put on the Bead Blast blades is a clear Hardcoat laquer is all it is. I can leave it off the blade no problem , i really just have it there to inhibit corrosion, but it usally wears off at a rate of use and is replaced by a Patina as it is used.
I choose to offer most the blades this way for one becasue i consider most of the blades i make as USER grade and i refinish the FIeld Grade finish for no charge.
Also at the Price level that i sell my blades at its not possible to Make them affordable to everyone and supply them with a Hand rubbed satin finish at the Prices i ask.
Also i like to make knives that will be Used and offer them at a price that doesnt kill peoples Bank accounts.
I can make anystyle blade anyone would like from a Standard Using grade field finished Knife up to and including full fledged Polished Katanas, but i am finding alot of people appreciate a well ground and finished Using knife abouve a fancy Shiney blade that wont really work any better but costs 3 times as much.
lol Guess im weird.
