Well done, Duncan. If you wanted to, would it be possible to put a bend in the knife so you could skive on a flat surface? Your videos are magic. Thanks!
G'day John, Hmmm, probably :) I haven't pushed the tension limits of the saw steel so I don't know whether you could 'cold roll' it to shape (which will involve 'over' bending it as it will spring back part of the way) or if you would need to anneal it first, followed by re-hardening and re-tempering. Most commercial skiving knives are curved.
