Essential Tools and Materials: What We Use Every Day in Knife Making
When it comes to the art of knife making, the tools and materials you choose can make all the difference in the quality and craftsmanship of your blades. At FS Blades, we're dedicated to creating exceptional knives, and we rely on a selection of trusted items that are essential to our craft. In this blog post, we're excited to highlight a few key tools and materials that play a significant role in our daily knife making process.
Two staples in our knife making process are the AmeriBrade Grinder and KMG Grinder. Both are powerful and versatile tools allowing us to shape and grind our blades to perfection. Their robust designs and adjustable features make them invaluable assets in our workshop. With both Grinders, we have the control and accuracy necessary to create the fine edges and shapes that define our knives.
3. Tru Grit Grinding Belts
The quality of our grinding belts is paramount to achieving the desired finish on our blades. That's why we rely on Tru Grit grinding belts. These high-quality abrasive belts are designed for consistency and longevity, ensuring that our blades receive the precise and uniform grinding they deserve.
In the intricate world of knife making, the right adhesive is crucial for securing handles and bolstering materials. Epoxy Resin is our go-to choice. Its exceptional bonding strength and reliability allow us to assemble our knives with confidence.
For a polished and enduring finish on our knife handles, we turn to Rock Solid Scales Rock Wax. This specially formulated wax not only enhances the visual appeal of our handles but also provides a protective layer that ensures longevity.
The handles of our knives are more than just aesthetic elements; they play a vital role in grip and durability. That's why we choose G10, Micarta and liners from Alpha Knife Supply. It allows us to customize our handles to meet the unique needs and preferences of our customers.
In the art of knife making, each tool and material we use contributes to the final product's excellence. These six items are just a glimpse into our world of knife making, where precision, quality, and craftsmanship are paramount. They represent the commitment we have at FS Blades to create knives that not only look stunning but also perform flawlessly.
Stay sharp, stay inspired.
