Hey guys,
I'm still working on my fourth knife. Ended up starting over. I'm really happy with the results so far except I'm struggling to get it thinner than this. It's 51mm tall at the heel. About 3/8" behind the edge, it's around .05" thick. I was just wondering if you guys ever thin behind your edges on stones before finishing the blade? Not sure if that's a thing or if I should go back to the 2x42 and keep trying to thin more that way. I'm shooting for about .04" going to .01" just behind the edge.
Thanks in advance!
Seth
