Thank you for the comment. I feel that this is my best work to date. Aside from the buffer, all work was done with hand tools after forging. Since my belt grinder burned up, I've been on a back to basics kick and I feel as though my style is getting nailed down. I'm sure there are knife makers out there who will comment on the fact that there is no plunge line, but I really like the look of my blades without a plunge line. I can grind a plunge line quite well, but prefer this style - that's the beauty of knife making. Also, I prefer a convex grind on hunters, because I feel it works better for skinning, and this is an all purpose hunter that I made specifically for myself. I'm tired of giving all my blades away to hunting and fishing buddies. Although, some of them are pretty rough on knives, so it's a good way to field test my work.
I recently replaced my grinder, but actually haven't been using it much, except for when I use the slack belt to clean up scale. Go figure. That will probably change when I get a Coote or KMG in the next month or so.
