nice. very nice.
you are giving us a great treat by showing how things look at all of these steps. However, there aren't any pics of the tools being used. I am a tool junky, too.
So... when you did the final convexing of the edge, did you do that with a slack belt on the sander, or did you use some other method? I know there are a whole lot of ways to do this, and I just wanted to know which one you used. Please.
Similarly, the handle shaping, did you use the belt grinder for most of it, or rasps and files? Probably, I can guess most of it was done with contact wheels, and a disk sander, but I am guessing. I just want to know, because I love to see how other people go about accomplishing these tasks.
the knife is outstanding. I think it is excellent. Thanks
