I have looking at this forum for for a long time and have been a member for a little while now, but this is my first post. I have to say I have gleaned a ton of useful information. After much research, and after making 4 or 5 knives from blanks, I have finally broken down and am making my first 2 blades from scratch. I have made pretty good progress, and am getting ready to start on the bevels before too long. These are both going to be scandi grinds. I have used a angle grinder and a disc sander attachment for a drill for the rough profiling, but everything else is going to be with files, sand paper, and a stone. I was originally going to set up a jig for filing the bevels, but am now wondering if I would be better off to do it free hand. Also, if doing it free hand, would it be better to do it all draw filing, or to file regularly, and then finish off the bevels by draw filing?
