I am just throwing thoughts around in my mind. If have a SR that I am thinking of modifying the profile. The modification would involve; changing the Dutch (round) point to a Spanish point like the Gold Dollar W59, thinning the spine to take about 1.5° off the bevel angle, and replacing the stabiliser with a thumb notch arrangement.
The blade will be of specially heat treated stainless steel that could easily have its fine gained structure modified if its temperature ever exceeds 200°C. This I don't want to happen.
I was thinking that the best way to do the training of the point and the heel/shoulder would be to grind it underwater. My thinking is this should guarantee that 200°C would never be reached.
I know the normal suggestion is to just grind for a second or two and then let the steel cool, but I would like to try a different approach. My main concern is that, being so thin, any grinding in air near the edge could easily and almost instantly get the steel temperature there to over 200°C.
I could do this grinding using a Dremel with flexible extension. What do you think?
