So this is my first knife from scratch.  It's 440c with desert ironwood.  I did all the blade shaping with the slack belt to get the rounded shape.  I am working on some more like this but with a double hollow grind on each side.  The blade was very hard to finish with the slack belt(took forever without being able to press against a wheel). What do you think?  Suggestions welcome.
