Just got into grinding my own blades using stock removal method. How thin should I grind the edge on a flat ground blade before heat treating? Thanks for your help.
Depends on the size of the knife, the thickness of a nickel for a large one or a dime for a small one. Just a very basic rule.

The way that I do it it by finding center on the edge with my scribe and then backing off the scribe just a smidgen the I mark two lines one from each side. it usually ends up being about 1/64" - 1/32"...but thats just my way of doing it.

Thanks guys. I guessed pretty close. Just have to do some file work and drill holes for the pins and get them heat treated.
Don't forget to show us the pics!
Will do when I get them done. I'll have to learn how to post pics on this site.
