Hi Tony,
Thanks for the data! At present I'm OK, wanting to eventualy forge a blade, as I would like to try blades the original way. Nothing wrong with stock removal, some of the best knifesmiths use nothing else, but I guess I just like bashing iron and lack to proper tools like a beltsander for proper stock removal. I just got a powerfile, so I will try that on the finishing of some of the hasta tips I'm making.
Regards
