Pugs no offense, but I think your knife is better than your Pics.:unsure: My eyes just aren't what they used to be,and it is kinda' hard to tell from these pics. I can tell that this knife looks like a knife, and not a shank. Not talking about the first one in this thread, but the last one you made from a file on the other Forum. I think you are working with some pretty coarse grits of belts, but you CAN use sheets of sandpaper that are progressively finer.
