should i grind the blade a little more

heres a link to the knife http://tek26007.wordpress.com/2014/04/04/blade-grind/ i was just wondering if i should bring the cutting edge a little closer to the spine. the flat part of the blade is .75 inch and the cutting edge is 1.25 inch. should i grind it so the cutting edge is 1.50. its pretty sharp right now and for its size, it can chop pretty good. i dont want the edge too thin because its chopping power is a plus. i plan on it being an outdoor knife, like an all around kinda thing, and to be a fighting knife if the situation comes up, its made out of 5160 and its 10.5 inches overall. and dont comment on the handle, i still need to work on it.

Here you go. For what its worth, your blade thickness is contingent on what you intend to cut, so for an outdoor knife it would be fine depending on hardness/toughness and thickness behind the edge.

i dont know the exact hardness, but it is pretty tough, and its 1/4 inch thick

Looks like a good bevel height to me. But what do I know?
