Good video!  Can't wait to see how this knife turns out!

Oh thankyou everyone!
It's an amazing knife no doubt! I have no doubt it will be just perfect!

 Today I focused on getting the blade profile right! I figure it's best to grind off nearly everything before heat treat!

 There's a nice 7 degree profile on each side with 1 mil in between for ht space, after ht there should be minimal grinding needed to the Bevel for its proper convex edge!

I used the edge pro profile to be sure it's exact profile on it! This is 1 step most knife makers I see missing, they don't exactly properly profile the knife perfectly!

 But then again without a tool, it can't be done so precisely! It took 4 hours of stone profile on the edge pro to properly fix it down! It's going to be a beast of a chopper for sure !
Tomorrow I will skeleton the handle and drill holes finally!  Wednesday its off to ht :)
