Ok a quick question perhaps,
A while back i fancied a go at spoon carving, being "wise" i got a double edged spoon knife thinking why would you only want one edge when you can have both for super dooper spooning...
anyway i soon found out that you cant apply pressure with your thumb to the knife, i was going to sell/trade(bin) it until someone said at Rough Close you can grind of the side you don't need.
Ive got a Aldi bench grinder so can do it on this
A) do i need to be carefull to not over heat on doing this
B) is it a good idea or not
C) may be obvious but if im right handed and if i hold the knife crook up (may need a pic) which edge is best ground off.
D) out of curiosity what is a double edged spoon knife useful for before i attack it.
Thanks in advance
Stoo.
