Thanks, guys. Today I am going to try a new method of grinding. I did this one the way I have always done it, by grinding away from the edge (edge down). I can't actually see what I'm grinding until after each pass on the belt grinder. Mike Stewart of BRKT grinds all his knives with the edge facing into the direction of travel of the belt. He says he can better see exactly what he is taking off the edge that way. So I will try this method on a 12" Tramontina today and see how it goes.

I always grind edge up, it is easier to see what is going on with each pass.

Holy crap! Except for the shorter handle and upper cutting edge near the tip, that blade's overall shape/form looks like my wooden practice sword for FMA/arnis! A J.I.C. (just in case) "fighting" golok

I'm pretty tempted to pick one of these up...
