Plan is to grind some 1.5 " . 070 aeb-l after HT for a nakiri to add to my kitchen arsenal.

Take the bevel up half way on both sides with a .010 edge before sharpening.

Sound about right?
 
I would just convex the blade down into an edge. The edge should be below .005" before sharpening. No need to carry the bevel up any distance, as the blade is already thin.
 
i fully flat grind and distal taper my 2 inch tall nakiri and then convex the edge on but im using .107 thick stock
 
Hmm I have some stock that thick as well. I should just profile one out of the .070 and one from the .100 that I have and keep the one I like the most. We do a "white elephant" gift exchange thing at Christmas with the in laws so the one I don't want could go to that. I did a very simple paring knife for last year and it was a hit so a nakiri should make the fur fly haha.
