My First Multi-Grind

[Z Bacon]

I just finished rough grinding this blade from 3/16 inch O1 stock. The recurve portion is flat ground and the tip is convex ground. Any suggestions on modifications or improvements?

That's a cool grind.

Thanks! I ground off the little finger notch thing (not sure what it's called) behind the blade because it was uncomfortable. Unfortunately I don't have any contact wheels smaller than two inches, so it will be difficult to shape the finger groove.

I think you should continue the tip grind on the top of the tip. Looks very nice tho!

 

[Z Bacon]

What do you mean, cbr900son? Like a spear tip?

Looks good.

I'd add a giant swedge.

 

[Z Bacon]

Good idea.

Somethign along these lines. Knife looks awesome but continue the awesomness a little on the top,

 

[Z Bacon]

Thanks for the ideas, guys!

Looking good! That must have been a chalange.
Is it chisel ground or ground on both sides?

 

[Z Bacon]

It's ground on both sides. It was a challenge! Only my second recurve.
