I hope i'm asking this question in the right place. I'm a "newbie" at making knives. I'm getting ready to grind a blade that has a clip, and I am unsure whether to grind the clip first then grind the bevels or grind the bevels first, then the clip. Can someone shed some light on this for me? Thanks.

I personally prefer to grind the clip before the bevel. I think it is easier to visualize and control than if the bevel is there. Plus in the event you screw up, you haven't already wasted a bunch of time grinding the bevel....
 
I grind the bevels first. I have not tried it clip first yet but will eventually try it to see if I like it.
 
Thanks guys! I'm still working on getting my blank cut out, so it's going to be a while before I start grinding.
