The Bearing he uses to press on the Blade while grinding is genius!!
That jig is awesome. Although actually, how do you grind a tip with that? Hmm

Depends how he typically makes a blade.
But a lot of people don't profile the tip until after at least rough grinding the bevels in, to make getting the angle consistent easier. So he could do something like that. Also, you want to keep the tip towards the middle of the belt, and not go off the edges with it. So that could help.
That makes sense. @Kippington told me he completely finishes the knife before grinding out the tip or choil, even.

Hey that was a while ago. I should revisit the hook grind sometime. The one i made which is on the passaround is insanely thin, but badly finished. In initial testing the edge actualy crumbled like aluminium foil, and i had to take it back some. Its a fun grind to do for sure.
I have had this idea in the back of my head for a while, and when i saw kipp do it i remembered it again haha.
Funny seeing an old story of mine on here.
