Well, here is my first. Plenty of step by step direction and instructions from Ralph D'Elia. Amazing experience. Lots of "sand here, there, sand more,....oops missed that scratch...keep sanding....keep sanding..." I'm sure everyone on this forum realizes that 3M stock is a good investment. Thank you sir.
Steel: 1095
OAL: 8.5"
Blade length: 3.5"
Bolsters/Pins: Stainless

Blade: Template was one of Ralph D'Elia's, Hollow ground 10" wheel (by Ralph, I tried a few and need lots more practice) Etched in ferric chloride.
Apologize for the amateur pics....still working on that.
