Hi. It's a scandi grind. Alfredo

Hi. It's a scandi grind. Alfredo

oks looks a high grind for 20- 25 degree

is it vertically ground or radially ground as vertical grinding at a fixed angle automatically strengthens the point as the belly comes up to the point

if you are changing the angle is that to be done on a CNC grinder etc

Not too sure I like handle profile, but otherwise looks good

Hi Alfredo,

Your knife looks very similar to the new entry level knife that Adam(jus-like-that)of JLT knives has come up with.

I would like to try with a high grind like so, to test the slicing improvement (if will be
In case, it will be done with CNC, so no problem I guess. Alfredo

Thanks. I'll work again on the handle.

Rob I had a look on the JLT knives site but was unable to find it, may you kindly push me on the right direction? Thanks, alfredo

I would make the forward section of the handle wider in order to make them more comfortable for heavier push-cuts. Also, the grind could be dropped a bit.

I like the blade shape, it reminds me of the Tamarack knife.

i dontthink the drawn grind line is in the right place as 20 deg on 3.5mm is only 10mm high and 25deg is nearly 8mm etc the blade scales to the handle at 25-30mm wide ish

i know its called a small fixed blade but its only just shorter than a woodlore but a longer nearly 5" handle

still trying ot work out if a CNC ed changing angle grind would make it difficult to sharpen the bevel TBO 25 deg is a great angle on this thickness blade for bushcrafting i think the changing angle is probably complicating some thing thats not a problem

The grind does look a little too high. It should be 1/2 to 2/3 that size I think for a 3.5 mm blade.
