Need some knowledge about grinding bevel

[matt6150]

Hello, I'm going to make a wine cork handled cheese knife for my parents as a gift. I have the profile drawn out and traced onto my metal but I'm not sure how to grind the bevel. Do I grind with the belt perpendicular to my handle or perpendicular to the future sharp edge? The pictures of my profile are at the link below.

You can also grind with the edge down.

I don't think it should be a problem. The knife is just for small pieces of gourmet cheese. I'm not so sure about drilling the holes for the stick of the tang though. Will it crumble if I bore it by hand?
