Knifemaking Tuesdays Week 01 - designing and machining the first test blades Media

I'm taking 1 day a week to focus on my new custom knives, very exciting! Today's project was to figure out how to fully machine a knife blade so that it doesn't have to spend any time on a belt grinder. I made 4 different designs and after a lot of practice I finally figured out how to render a blade profile in Solidworks, now that I have that skill I can design pretty much any shape! This video goes through some of the design process as well as the machining of these 4 little blades.
