What's going on here this week?
what's the purpose of the jig/clamp type thinger?
They are called a capo, from Italian capotasto.The clamp reminds me of a guitar "cheater" - at least that's what I think they are called.
I've got another much larger version of the guide that I use to grind in the tang shape. It fits over the entire blade - very handy tool for making crisp (and even) notches for the handle to fit up against.
Perhaps you may be employing this device soon? :wink:
Love a nice nakiri. What kind of wood are you using for the handle?
It's a blue dyed box elder burl. The blue looks like a dark green/blue - so unique.
