So here are my first two knives. WIP. I am making these two knives using draw filing and hand tools mostly. I will be shaping the handles once I get my drill back since making rounded edges with files alone is a pain in the aft end. The stock steel is O1 1/8", the smaller blade is 15/16" wide and the larger is 1 1/8" wide. I'm not sure how much closer to the spine my grind lines should be or if they are fine where they are. Right now the thickness at the cutting edge is about the thickness of a nickle. I have not started using sandpaper yet. Think the grind lines are good where they are or should I push them closer to the spine before using sandpaper? Any opinions are welcome. Also, any thoughts on what I should do with my grind termination radius and plunge lines? Make them more rounded or stick with the current look?
