Sneaky grinding technique very few makers know of 

I learned to grind primarily Blade Down by Chad Osborne. Ive only recently begun grinding blade up and appreciating how much more I can see what Im doing when grinding to my blade edge. When I flip back blade down it makes it real easy to clean everything up and match both sides.

Thank you for sharing!

That won't exactly make daggers easy, but it certainly can help. Bit of random trivia, my first attempt at making a knife was a dagger (not a quillon dagger, but it was double edged), the hardest part was that I was trying to create convex bevels using a bench grinder. The result was unsurprisingly terrible, but I wish that I still had it to compare to my more recent work.

Hey look, it is Neels van den Berg! Great to see you face. Cool grind.

I have never seen that technique. Thanks for sharing.

Great advise!

Thanks its a great looking blade dose that include tang in the 11.5"

Badass brother!

RU-vid - Good move Neels! (Not so fond of Facebook anymore)

Neels, Great advice but how do you keep it from making a thin edge when using this technique?

Neels, I'm considering getting a disc sander (I'm in South Africa) for knife making what brand/make would you suggest? Great video as usual!

That's a good bit of advise how do u know how long and wide to make the daggers

I've always grinded edge down, that's how I taught myself years ago, edge up, can't see what I'm doing, lol...

Is the for your ABS Mastersmith Test?

Is there a specific reason for using a 1"/25mm belt and not a 2"/50mm belt? What are the pros and cons of 1" VS 2" belts?

Curious as to the best place to find 1"/25mm contact wheels at?

Dear Mr Neels Vandenburg I am new to this industry which I got into for all the right reasons which is to get laid. None the less the reason for this correspondence is an official / non-official " cease and assist " and warning that you are using my patented ( pending ) JGRIND 2000 grinding machine which I personally designed. I understand this is of the most awkward situation but we are still buddies. ( just don't use my machine ) we can settle this act of piracy out of court. I noticed you had this sick bad ass dagger you made! I want it, just send me the dagger and you can use my machine. Thank you very much your friend Jay ( owner of the JGRIND 2000 )
