Ontario AFSK - reprofile - Convex edge (English)

On this video we talk about the final modifications my good friend Colhane or Mac has done to my Ontario Pilots Survival Knife to improve its bushcraft performance. Those modifications include grounding off the upper hand guard to allow me to choke on the blade, for instance, and the reprofile of its blade into the convex edge. That gives me a sharp and easy-sharpening tool yet with enough metal on the blade to take harder punches such as havier batonning, which cant be done using the Scandi-grind without the risk of damaging it. I owe it all to my friend Mac, who knows A LOT about cutelary and sharpening, re-profiling blades and metal tools! It´s really great to have the chance and the privilege to (finally!!) learn from such a skillful man how to put a good descent edge on my blades, a basic, crucial bushcraft skill yet a very difficult one to be acquiered by many bushcrafters and outdoor people out there (me included!)!

Slicktastyk, we actuallt used a flaty stone to start the grinding process, and afetr we removed that secondary bavel, then we used the sand paper! Thank you so much for viewing my video and your comments!
