Once I adjusted g-code generation to just pencil line the profile of the blades I got the cut time for both blades down to 17 minutes. That was going super slow at 5IPM, since I did not want to drive Z faster and the g-code generator was not playing nice if I tried to have the axis at different top speeds.<\/p>\n<p>For this first blade I worked off the loveless 9 point hunter. I really liked the lines on the keen-edge knives pattern for the loveless. In the end it seems a little small in my hand.

Interestingly that bulk made it seem handle heavy to me, but as soon as I placed the knife in a friends hand who is a knife fighter her immediate comment was that it was blade heavy. Adding a false blade profile should help \u2013 but this drove home that I am going to need to get a lot of feedback from blade people to make this project work.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1044\" title=\"Loveless inspired 9 inch trainer - reverse grip\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hhhh.org\/joeboy\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/prototype_LV1_P2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1894\" height=\"1179\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The reverse grip feels a little less \u201cfat\u201d in my hand, but I don\u2019t know now how to improve it.
