Yeah, I was wondering that too. Your bloodwood looks gorgeous, almost as good looking as mine .I could not find a thread for this run, so I will go first. Can’t recall a time when a thread was not started almost as soon as a run was announced, so you people are getting a little sloppy!
Happy Easter to all, and a fitting picture of a bloodwood knife for this day.

What did you do?I'm not typically one to sharpen a knife upon arrival, I like to carry it a bit and then decide what I want out of the knife or blade. On this one, I knew what I wanted when it was put on the production schedule. So when it arrived today (worth the wait) I took some time to reprofile the edge on every blade to my carving preference. It already looks at home in the shop, don't you think?
Got rid of that nasty secondary bevel.What did you do?
Do you convex it or just keep a straight angle?Got rid of that nasty secondary bevel.
I do it by hand so I can't tell you the angle.
