video of distal taper

[beaster456]

Can someone direct me to a video of someone putting a distal taper on a kitchen knife? That'd be awesome

Don't over-think it. Tapering blades and tangs is really no different than grinding a very long full flat bevel. Just mark your center and grind away the stuff you don't want. Many people grind the distal taper first, then grind in the bevel; I kind of just blend them together as I go along.
