Looking good! Very shigefusa-esque!

Ditto, nothing wrong with using a tried and true design. Nice work!
PS: for those whom I own custom work. I am sorry for taking time to work on this project. I had to get it out of my system. I am back to working and you will be hearing from me soon.
Don't get me wrong. I'd like to see the rope test results but the true test of a good grind is the way it goes through an onion, imo. As I'm sure you know, some relatively thick blades can fly through an onion while some relatively thin ones really don't. I like to take a LARGE onion and cut it Salty/Theory style with horizontal and vertical cuts rather than radial. If can get a feel for the grind by simply gauging the relative ease of making each cut, being careful to get through most of the onion on the horizontal cuts. I'm not saying other tests don't work. This is the one that tells me the most about how I'm going to like the knife.

I noticed a little rounded heel is on the knife, so it should be?
Marko, looks great! (You should see my first attempt, oh boy!) Keep going, and have fun!
Thanks for encouragement, Pierre-
I am having a great time. I picked up a 250+ pounds anvil today for about .70-.80/lb so I am a happy camper though it was awful for one person to move, let me tell you. Now I can stamp my name, peen and do some work on metal ferrules.
As far as my next knife goes, it will be a single-beveled.

What'da score? I have an anvil fetish.
