Haha, now I have to buy some fancy stones from @ethompson to polish it up and find out?! I guess if it’s for science this could be worked into the budget

Stone polishing this grind… hmmm. If you shaped the stone just right I don’t see why it wouldn’t be possible lol
I think that's Shi.Han, tho I never see ShiHan and Kippington together so...

It's illegal.
I know Mert has done 52100 with hamon before. I've personally never tried.

The term "differentially hardened" could technically cover a differential temper, even if the quench was done uniformly beforehand. In which case... this means all my 52100 knives are differentially hardened - Hooray!

I'll make you a sponsor offer you can't refuse...
Plenty of cheap Chinese knives are differentially hardened. Just about every other specimen has a different hardness...
Not to mention the ones only hardened at the edge
That’s surprising a traditional way to avoid wrapping.Not to mention the ones only hardened at the edge
So they are differently tempered rather than differentially hardened during quenching?The term "differentially hardened" could technically cover a differential temper, even if the quench was done uniformly beforehand. In which case... this means all my 52100 knives are differentially hardened - Hooray!

Yep. Don't mind me, I'm just being a d1ckhead.
Like when I call Canadians "Americans" and listen to them try to explain that they aren't from North America
Yeah, me either....they aren't from North America

Hi all,
Thanks to @Kippington support, i finally managed to finish a stainless steel knife that i'm happy enough to show you.
It is a 22cm long gyuto, 14c28n stainless steel at 59hrc (theoretically, not measured), 2.5mm thick at the spine, 400grit handsand finish, wa-d handle made of ironwood.
Hook+chevrons grind, + concave grind on the other side.
Cheers !

Really nice work!
I like that it's got your own twist to it, looks noticeably different from mine, but still a hook grind without a doubt.

Thanks very much. It is indeed different, but it's good that we have our own touch

Tobias Hangler? He's an Austrian blacksmith, and one of the men behine ApexUltra steel, I don't think he's on KKF personally, but some of his Austrian colleagues are, like @KAMON Knives mentioned in the video.

I was talking about the man he talks about who makes hook grind knives.
But anyways, thanks for these info

Oh that’s Kamon.I was talking about the man he talks about who makes hook grind knives.

But the originator of the Hook Grind wasn't mentioned!

I'm not sure if you guys are joking or serious. Ignore this if you were joking.
For complete disambiguation, this whole thread began as Kippington's search for a great (I hesitate to say "perfect", because there is no perfect knife) food release grind. This resulted in him developing the Hook Grind.
Do go back and read the whole thread if you haven't- you will learn quite a bit about how it was developed and why it works.
I guess it's possible that Kamon came up with it independently but as far as I am aware, Kippington's is the OG Hook Grind (originally coined "Fish Hook" IIRC).
No, Kamon gives Kipp credit for the idea.
We were referring to the video posted where Tobias using Kamon as an example, I know Jules came up with it first.
Ahh... looks like I took your posts out of context and misinterpreted them.
My bad.
Carry on.

I'm wanting to eventually do something inspired by this. Not sure what yet, but ever since seeing the grind its been in my mind.

Not sure of the exact number of people that have taken inspiration from the hook grind, but here's a collection of posts I saved from Instagram that look related:

Thanks,
Great to see each person's own version of food release grind.
Performance wise apart, some are just gorgeous !!

I'd imagine hardent knives was inspired by yours. Idk if he's on here, but he's in a discord server that i'm sure has mentioned your work.
He is, currently doing a pass around right now.
