Harbor Freight Files For Knife Making. I actually just looked it up to make sure i spelled it right and it's a reasonably interesting read on wikipedia about the origin of the torx screw. Picked up and have been using a harbor freight portable bandsaw. The coote is probably the least expensive thing out there that is built for knife grinding, pretty much everything tools won't make you a knifemaker, seat time will.
I use the harbor freight mini planes.
Steel billets handle materials fittings polishing. I think i will be on my way to harbor freight in the next couple of days. It is not a required tool, you can achieve the same with files, sandpaper, knife, disk sander and a dozen of other methods. It's an embarrassment, to be sure, but to make it as right as possible, harbor freight is now accepting any of their brand jack stands for refund or store credit. Sorry for being a noob, i have no experience with this kind of stuff. I mostly draw file mine now. I learned today the gentleman that has helped me on numerous occasions in statesboro, ga. I was thinking about getting one almost exclusively for profiling blades.
