Thats a good practice, I am always in the hurry to make a knife and skip the practice could use it though, if grinding in batch, the second onw always turn out to be better or have less problems

On that mild steel blank bevels are grind only with 40 grit , I stop grinding a little earlier .Plan was on real one blank to finish grinding with 80 grit so I leave little more meat on that sacrificial blank .AND I was a second from disaster, to totally destroy the real one ! I use jig for grinding bevels and when i finish grinding with 40 grit belt I change that belt with 80 grit one ................Fortunately, I don't even know why or how I just touched the 80 grit belt on 23 m/s with bevel.........due to the difference in belt thickness IF I press properly on jig half of blade would disappear in next second !!! I knew about that problem , but knowing does not mean that you will apply what you know in right moment .I adjusted the grinding angle again and a happy ending.............

Do you grind the hollow straight down the blade with jig?

Yes! Very well built.
Congrats on that purchase, it looks like a good grinder. Only negative I could spot is that the built in contact wheel sits kind of low.

Well I was happy with the hollow grind, so lets try something fun, a tapered tang!
My first one and I realy enjoyed doing it!
I kept just a bit over 1/3 of the original thickness. I think it screams out for a handle with liners to show off.
