it safes my finger nails and give me more grip on my work.

I hear ya!
I actually use a grinding magnet most of the time. When I did this thread, it was the first time I ground heat treated blanks.
I just read thru this thread... AWESOME! A great tutorial for us knifemaking noobies! Thanks for posting this Martin!

Martin's epic WIP was a huge influence on my decision to attempt making a knife. As soon as I put a file to steel, I was hooked. I have this entire WIP copy and pasted into Evernote so I can reference it often.
Thank you, Martin.
Just remember what old Jack Burton does when the earth quakes, and the poison arrows fall from the sky and the pillars of Heaven shake. Yeah, Jack Burton just looks that big old storm right square in the eye and he says "Give me your best shot pal. I can take it."
Awesome bud...really happy that it helped you get going.....or maybe I should apologize
