I just finished up this one....
nice work Dave....I keep thinking about getting one of these...
How much thinning do you end up doing by and large?
and how do you bring out the top part so well?
Great work on classic american knives, hard to believe they once sold for a couple of $ at Woolworths!

lus1: Say Dave you got any of these laying around, looking for a home?
Can we see a choil shot?
That looks really nice Dave. I measured one of mine and along the spine it's 2.06 mm above the heel, 2.03 mm mid way and .069 mm just before the grind at the tip. Not a lot of taper, but thins out nice at the tip.
Looks great. For a project like this, do you thin by hand on plates/stones or take it to a belt sander or wheel?
I'm finally getting comfortable thinning, but the time required often makes it feel like a chore. A necessary one, however.
