I searched out this thread to look for advice or hints for making my bevel meet in the middle,and keeping the same bevel on both sides. I have built a few knives so far, and haven't had much trouble with that before. Now, I finally have a decent belt-grinder, and guess I was too cocky. Working with the files might have kept me on track more? Who knows. The knife I'm on now is dealing me kind of a fit. I don't have any advice to offer wall e, except to do what I am doing... keep listening to these guys at Knife Dogs. Everything I just read here makes sense. I plan to print off the thread and refer back to it next time I'm grinding. Thanks, everyone!
