Got one of my sons back back in the shop this weekend. He got the pin holes drilled, bevels ground and blade normalized. I didn’t get a pic of the knife after the bevels were ground. I’ll post that later.

Think I might try something like this as my next side project. I use @conceptsapp to design my work on the iPad Pro. It is vector based and allows me to draw to scale with a grid in the background. Then export to various formats and actually print to scale. This is where many apps failed in my testing.
