Now to keep you all in suspense, there will be no more pics untill the extra long handle material comes early next week. Unless it shows up tomorrow.

Was it a pain to grind the blade John or have you still got to do that ?

Not too bad, it`s a nice convex, but it took 8 belts (so far, still needs to be ground clean, then the handles). I`ll probably use 12 -13 belts alltogether.
