Posted February 8, 200619 yr I would like to make an attempt to grind my own wedges from raw forgings. Only problem is - I can't find any. Does anybody know of company that specializes in custom wedges that would be willing to sell un-grinded, raw wedge heads? Thanks. Ron

Thanks.Ron You need to talk to Ari from scratch. i'm sure he would be able to accomodate you in some way, shape or form.
March 18, 200618 yr I am not so sure on that one. Ari is one of the most gracious & well-intentioned people on the planet but letting raw heads out is not about being nice. There is a danger of the raw forging being passed off as a Scratch wedge with sub-standard grinding (no offence intended) & he could also be under some kinda contractual constraint in the sense that Scratch are the only company that can use Ishihara heads (We saw problems with Miura/Blade before) But if its at all possible I am sure Ari would help, personally Id buy a few old beat up wedges to practise on. No sense using a world class forging as a Guinea pig...
