#shopwork

Matching #breadknife and #paringknife setting up in the shop. The bread knife is one of the most intriguing knives I've made. I definitely had some issues and challenges to get the geometry right without taking it too thin. At first, it was just ripping the bread. Then I ground a slight hollow from the teeth about a third of an inch up from the back of the teeth to the points at a zero grind. I had to re-grind the teeth and make sure it was also nice and sharp between each seration. Now it alices clean and thin. . . . #thepxsmith #joshaweston #makingthings #epoxy #glueup #handle #making #shopwork (at Pixel Smith - Josh A.
