seeing as how i make one of these every month or so, why not have one big one to talk about knives swords blades of all kind \o/
so i just got me a new kris by linder, beautiful knife, very elegant, only problem is the steel is hard as hell, so its a pain in the ass to sharpen by hand so i was thinking id use a dremel. im not sure what heads to use for this though, i have an aluminum oxide head which should work but it will also probably leave scratches on the very highly polished blade which brings me to my enxt question
does anyone know the best way to polish metal with a dremel? im not sure what heads and compounds to use.

Then I read your post, and was like oh.

I honestly wouldn't use a Dremel, if you sharpen them enough you might want to invest in a grinding wheel or belt sander, prob within the 60-200 dollar mark. With the finished edge you probably want to finish it off by hand with stones anyways.
With the grinding wheel you can also buy spindles (at a silversmith supply store) for muslin buff's which is what's used to shine metal. They also have little tiny muslin buffs for Dremels which may be good to touch up small areas, my experience with them has them falling apart before usefulness with steel. For polishing steel the best and quickest results I get are from Fabulustre, you can also use Rouge. Take note that you really need to get the surface good and smooth and sanded with a fine grit really well for any of these to be effective. -Jin Nib Trading on behalf of Opera Noir since: 2009.03.02 03:53:00

Secrets of metal polishing:
Get to know a dentist, or even better, a denturist. Denturists have access to special polishing wheels, and graduated-grit polishing paste. You start with a coarse grit after your sharpening is done, depending on how badly the blade is scratched, then move down to the finest variety, polishing at an angle toward the blade's edge. I had a few watches and rings that needed a buffing, and now they sparkle as if brand new, without scratching the glass or anything. I imagine it'll work on a knife just as well.
Btw, a dremel is a really unstable tool, and will likely chew up your blade unless handled carefully and perfectly bit-centered.

DO NOT USE A DREMEL FFS.
Good lord man. Think of the children! And baby Jesus!
Anyway, never use a 'powered' anything to sharpen a knife. I used to own a (very high end) custom knife shop, and what I would use professionally was a belt sander with 600-800 grit paper if there were massive dings and dents in the blade edge to completely remove the nicks and stuff. But that was only in worst case scenarios when there were really big nicks in the edge.
When you're using something like a belt sander you have to be extremely careful to go slow and not heat up the blade or you'll ruin it. Frankly, in the hands of a novice you'll probably end up ruining the blade anyway with a power tool and you'll probably end up hurting yourself in the process.
I always use crock sticks to sharpen my knives, regardless of their type of blade or type of steel. They work great, they work every time, and I can get a razor edge on any blade I've come across.
Check 'em out here: Crock Sticks
But under no circumstances should you be using a Dremel for sharpening a blade. Just don't do it. -

As Bellum said, it is very easy to destroy a blade with a dremel and even a belt sander. So I highly recommend that you practice belt blade sharpening with your lowest quality throw away knives first. It would be a ***** to ruin a brand new blade.

Ceramic blades are junk for most cutting tasks. I've used numerous examples made from a variety of materials and they were all unsatisfactory in the end. A good CPM blade is best. -

only reason id use a ceramic knife is if i needed to sneak it through a metal detector. also i just got about 30 used tablesaw blades to make knives out of (smaller ones mind you) now i just need reinforced cutting heads for the dremel and a chainsaw file, if anyone has some knife patterns in mind send em my way (if its really awesome i might send you one)

What type of use are you wanting for the blades? I can design you some blade profiles. Just give me the sizes you need and the size of stock (material) you're using. The blade profiles will depend on what you're wanting to use them for. -

im going to start off with some very simple full tang drop point utility knives, nothing fancy, will look similar to this but with no guthook, after i get the process down im going to try a karambit style blade, again fairly small and not too fancy, and ill see what happens from there.
as a sidenote this site has some awesome patterns i have gotten some ideas from, i want to try something similar to the desert wind but smaller and with more of a curve and sharpened down both sides.
