Between using the belt sander , a file, sandpaper, and my own grinder, I got the outer edges of the knife down to smooth knife handle appearance. it took a bit of work, but was easier than anticipated. I did not document this part because of how tedious it was.

 

To reflect, This knife was really silly in shape and barely practical, no part of the knife edge is flat, it is all curved, and it is too short and wide. I made the bevel too steep so it is likely that it will not sharpen particularly well because the point is so blunt in shape. It does, however look fairly impressive and feels exceptionally sturdy. It will look better with a bit of oil or stain on it.


The only thing left  to do was stain and sharpen the knife, but since I was completely exhausted I instead began designing my next knife. I plan on doing this one with a bit more planning. The design will be a bit more basic and instead of freehand grind the bevel, I will do what I  should of have done before and use some kind of jig.
