Thanks, I'll search it up a little, too,. Now I have more of an idea what to watch for and I'll look at the Puronvarsis. I'd like to see how to sharpen grinds that come to zero. I want to figure out this knife - how it works and how it sharpens.
I used it a little and the flat/convex positions made more sense to me. When I turned the knife to cut toward me it worked just like a chisel, leaving a flat clean side with the rest falling away. So - I'm learning anyway.
This little guy is coming along. Handle material is weathered caribou.
Bolster is mild steel and just about fit. Planning to leave a hammered face and forge scale.

The tang hole is still a little oversized in the center of the convex side. I'm hoping to hammer that closer. The flat side is tight as possible and shoulders are flat.

Guard was hot fit to help form the convex side. Unsure if I created a weak spot with the added heat.
**No knife I have sold has this temperline at this point. This one will be for me to learn how it cuts.**
I've got another, larger, one heat treated and ready for grinding. Just want to figure out that edge.
