Well, I did a blade type like a combo of a MT kestrel back of the blade (warncliff style) and the edge grinds were kinda like the Vector. result, the Vectrel! Great for cutting open boxes, stryofaom, etc. I made the edge flat with no recurve (simple warncliff, no curve) to it to begin with and then flat ground that. Then I took a half round file and put the curve in it and worked it till it was smooth. Then I kinda swept the blade across the belt w/o platen in the direction of the curve. result, straight edge at the very tip for about 3/4 inch, then a curve all the way back to the finger notch. Grind is mostly flat and a little convex because I didn't use the platen. I like this convex type grind cuz my bevels aren't totally even yet! I also did a drop point tanto style knife. Somehow, I got a Yakote in one side of it. I think it was the slightly convex grind meeting the flat grind at the tip. I just gotta thin out the edge a little. I also started sharpening the blades with the belt sander and then finishing them with stone. Very nice edges! The recurve makes a great utility knife, especially the Vector style.
