Any tricks other than I need to buy a decent guide for the plunge lines? I've tried center scribing and scribing two lines .020 apart. I still seem to end up a little off center. This is the first actual blade I've done on a grinder but I've done quite a few practice grinds.

heh.. if I had the answer to that..... I made improvement with a Bump File guide.. and for centering the grind, practice!. mostly it just seems that as my grinding improves, im better able to stay focused and make corrections earlier in the process before they become major flaws. Im not sure if its the best way but I only make one pass per side (unless im correcting an issue)..

The second great piece of advice I got from Adam @Alaskanblades was to do a batch of the same style knife.. making 5+ of the same knife shape was invaluable learning experience.

I kinda hope some of the more experienced guys chime in as I am always interested in learning myself.

I think you've done a great job. The handle is very well finished other than the minor pin placement/rotation others have mentioned.
