Hi I wanted to ask you guys how to round the spine and the choil of knives and with what toll?
 
You need a bench vise and some leather strips to hold the knife without scratching the sides. As a abrasive you could cut strips of course, med sandpaper and do kinda a shoe shine motion for the spine.
For the choil I didn't have a round file so i wrapped a pice of sandpaper on a marker / round pen and carefully sanded the choil.
 
My Jknives are all soft clad so I draw file then follow with backed sandpaper
 
I use a 1 x 30 belt grinder. Takes 5 minutes.
