    Description

    Selling off one of the last knifemaking / blademaker tools in my shop.
    This is one of Nathan's (the Machinist) extra long grinding platens made from hardened D2 steel.
    It is about 10 inches long by 2 wide by 3/8.
    It has the radius end for integral or plunge grinding.
    This is what Nathan had to say when I bought it:
    We also have 4
    extra long flat platens with 3/8" end radius
    . They're made of 3/8" D2. The heat treat is optimized for abrasive wear resistance. These are used for lengthwise grinding with the top wheel removed. Grinding with the top wheel removed can get hot, you will probably need a platen chiller. They're

    .
    I have used his regular sized flat platen, and his 36" radius platens and just loved them to death.  Never used any other platen for my grinding.  I bought a chiller as he recommended and never used that either.  I just used a home depot water spray bottle on the belt and platen and got used to that.  Worked great.
    Selling it as pictured.  Please review photos as they complete the description.  I'm happy to answer any questions.
    Thanks
