The knifemaker's aunt got onto the Grizzly (the belt sander used to take the most material off a forged knife) and profiled more railroad spike knives. A firm and strong hand put railroad spikes to the belt with confidence and force. Clearly, a quick critique and some practice improved the knifemaker's aunt's profiling technique. The butt end of the spikes resulted in right angled edges.See how the side meet the butt in a clean line, not a beveled edge from the side to the butt. What's next? Once the knifemaker's dad grinds the blade the handle will get twisted. THAT will be exciting given the terrible time the knifemaker's aunt had trying to twist the handle of the nail knives!
