Yeah, I like the beefy design too, and hefty handle. Makes me want to pick it up and cut something. 
You can try "draw filing" to get the flats on your blade, since you're working without a grinder. You can remove a lot of steel very accurately that way.
Check out Shop Talk and ask away. Many makers post pics of their methods for getting the work done and we all learn a lot there.
