What blade shape do you recommend?

[matt6150]

I was wondering how i should shape this knife blade. Whats is the easiest to make with a bench grinder? What are some other options? The knife is 6 3/4" overall and the blade length is 3 1/8" https://plus.google.com/110578490804779473099/posts

I would imagine a wharncliff would be the easiest but I'm not a maker. Post pics when you have it done.

Second on the Wharncliff, it's basically a straight edge with a curved tip.

+2 on the wharncliffe! Useful blade and since it is easiest to sharpen I would guess that it is easiest to make......

I found it easy to shape a handle but not blade and just grind the bevel (since its just straight) then shape the spine. I'm not a real maker though so take that with a grain of salt.

sheepsfoot/wharncliffe is your best bet!
