Grinding a Sword Blade How To?
#36
Manuel there is no special disc I use, but I do keep discs that are worn down, dont use a new disc as the sharp edge to it can jump on the narrow section you are grinding. Start by drawing the two lines down the blade to the width you want to do it. Gently grind the metal up to the line, sacred rule do not go beyond the line or on to it this is your fail safe Big Grin  
   
Hope you can make out the fullers on these, idealy it is better to do the fuller first before the edge. Then you can use a half round file with the handle bent up slightly or a stone that has been rounded to smooth the fuller down and to take any high spots away. I have also used a grinding wheel on a drill but sometimes it can bounce a bit. Otherwise if you take your time, you will get there. Big Grin  
   
Again it is hard to explain so first practice on a scrap piece to get the hang of it Big Grin
