The knifemaker's dad pointed out a fault in the aunt's railroad spike grinding duties...an over-zealous edge on the butt end of the spike. At the place where the butt had been ground around the whole of the end, the knifemaker's aunt had beveled the edge. This left horizontal grind marks around the edge, vertical marks across the butt end, and diagonal grind marks where the edges and butt overlap.The knifemaker's aunt is too artistic for her own good. There should be a right angle edge there the side all around meets the butt end.
Back to the belt sander!
