That's really cool. I'm very impressed with the symmetry! :thumbup:

I've wondered this for a while... How do you get curved plunge lines?

 

[Jenner 515]

Sir, that is freakin' awesome. Well done.

 

[panch0]

Very well done indeed!

Your third knife! Maybe I should just give up right now

Run your belt off the edge of your platen / wheel. Lead into the plunge softly and they will "sweep".

Nice symmetry! Really like it!

Sweany I don't know where you get all those cool pics, but they're always spot on.

That's a fantastic knife! Your symmetry is perfect and you took on some challenges some of us never would. I really like the pins too. What a great knife! Gold star day. :thumbup:

Wow ... Thank you all, I never expected such a response, I almost didn't finish it because of the wavy plunge, i keep thinking I can grind the perfect blade Ha HA, realized i better start putting handles on.

Mike , Thanks for asking about the plunge, And Erik thanks for your answer, I was using the hard edge and it wasn't working.

Sweany and Dave, I woke up to your posts ,

You've all really made me want to start another.
Thanks Mark
