Brian,I carve the blade by hand.I adhere a cad drawing showing the grind lines.I use a flexshaft w/ 1/2" carbide bur,I rough in the bevel & swedge.Taking 80% of material,Checking my thickness thoughout the carving process.Then I use mounted stones to take it down slowly,At a certain point I start using expanded drums.I then start hand sanding ALOT!I'll try to do a WIP thread soon.
