Hi,
So say I’d like to have a distal taper on the blade.
a. Do I grind the distal taper before the bevels, or just in the same time while doing the bevels?
b. When grinding the bevels, does the bevels angle move up on the tang, like a tanto? If not, does that mean that the transition between the bevels and tang/ricasso is blended?
c. When looking at the cutting edge profile (side of knife), does it follow a continuous arc, with no flat spots, not even in the last say 2 or so inches from the heel?
Thanks in advance.
