I finally counted my hammer blows and landed on 400 per knife, which cut my grinding time way down
Last year I started marking a chalk tally on the anvil stump for every heat, mostly out of boredom, and after 6 weeks I noticed my best knives all came in around 400 blows while my ugly ones ran past 700. Turns out I was fixing bad habits with extra hammering instead of moving steel right the first time, so now I stop and look at the profile once I hit that mark. Anyone else keep some silly count like this, or am I just the only guy out here chalking up his stump?
