Here's a pic of the kitchen knife I started.

My sander is supposed to come on Friday so I'll be able to do the grinds then. :)

If anyone wants to look at the process of making my first knives then please look at this thread.

Haha! I hadn't thought about that! It doesn't look so weird in person, but you get a bit of everything in a small frame. :p The "body-bag" is a furniture cover BTW. ;)
 
i see an extension cord and what looks like the plug to a power tool. reciprocating saw maybe? lol
 
Haha! I didn't expect these types of replies. :p

What do you guys think of the shape?

The specs are:

1/8" 1084
9" blade
4.75" handle
 
You guys :)

Erdbeereis, I think the profile is good, but I'd change the angle of the heel and raise the tip just a little bit. Something like this:

Thanks Don!

I think I'll leave this one as it is for now as it would be to much work to file all of the steel off. I will, however, consider your advice for my next one. :)
 
Here's a rather large update...

I did the grind on the knife now. It's definitely getting easier the more times I do it.
