...got allot easier when I started making my own. I think I have found my perfect fixed blade, and now its kinda frustrating because I am not as exited about making more knives, so I guess I just have to wait for my taste to change, or start making different/odd, fun and interesting knives. This happen to anybody else?

Perfect...?
as far as blade shape, and aesthetics go yes pretty darn good. the craftsman ship leaves some to be desired though.
Oh you will want pics for this!
So I was grinding away on said knife, and my brother came up so I put the knife down -on the platen/shelf that goes with the disc grinder, and tore my finger up spectacularly. It was really bad, I couldn't get it to stop bleeding for about 5-10 min. and ended up in the doctors office getting it numbed, so they could cut away all the dead/burned/filthy skin, and get a tetnus shot. Btw the shot they put in my finger hurt just about as bad as the actual event. Hey I also noticed the tape they put around my finger was made by 3M, probly the same manufacturer of the disc
