I'll stick to the 2.5 D as that pattern is very popular in the knife world and I cant keep them in stock, just cant make them fast enough.
You cannot argue with success. Stay the course!

I made some fancy handles for a chef's knife but my wife wouldn't let me sell it so it is now in her kitchen knife set.

I have to echo all the concerns about the dust...we're all rough and tough until you have health problems because "it won't bother me"...speaking from experience...any kind of dust is a slow killer...be smart about it.

Yes sir! I worked in a commercial door and trim factory using a radial arm saw for my entire shift... after 3 months of never wearing a mask, i was 24, I was fucked, I couldnt even speak correctly and yelling was out of the question. Transferred into the key and lock room for the rest of my tenure, about a year total.

I appreciate everyones concern... funny how compassionate complete strangers are, thank you.
