So I have started to draw file a flat grind. I have the handle screwed down to a 2x4 with about 1' sticking off my workbench. I looked up how to draw file and came up with this thread which is very helpful. http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/341886-Draw-filing-tutorial The only thing that sucks is I can't see the pics that Primos posted. I would like to know how to keep from getting a low spot in the middle. The blade has a slight bow to it from the distal taper when it is clamped down, and the tip is beginning to roll over a bit. I would rather take my time and do it right than to waste my time and screw it up. Any help is appreciated, thank you.
 
I've just started, but I usually clamp another piece of metal underneath the blade to keep it from bending too much.
 
Any chance you can post some pictures of how you have the knife set up and how you are filing it?
