It is best if you can to do a rounded notch up into the blade to prevent a stress point on the blade. It will be as strong.

Yeah, I know. I used to work as a mechanical engineer, I can spot a stress riser from a mile away.

That should be a nice knife. What program did you use for doing your design

That's a great design.

Adobe Illustrator.

Wow!! That means a lot coming from you!

Your avatar reminds me, I wanna do a bowie next...

My O-1 isn't here yet >grumble<, but I profiled a couple blanks outta that cheap welding steel, and have been practicing the grind. I think I just might pull this off! Of course, the devil is in the details, as always...

Any updates?

Sadly, no. My order with the steel, pin stock and such got lost. It went out on Tuesday or Wednesday, and won't be here until next week.

Looks like it's going to be a nice one.
