At the show I just did, I had 5 different guild members and 3 mastersmiths give me a good solid knife critique at my request. EVERY SINGLE ONE pointed out that my plunges were not consistently even. A couple also pointed out that the top of the plunge where the bevel meets the flat was also uneven on some of my blades.
Help! Other than just paying more attention to those things, what suggestions do you guys have for getting even plunges?
Overall my knives got good reviews, but this was definitely a sticking point.
