The 2 large curves on the spine were done with a 5 inch grinder, the small curve in the middle was with a small grinding wheel in the dremmel and so was the reshaping on the tang and heel. The point was mainly done with a dremmel cut off wheel IIRC. I actually did all the grinding about 4 months ago but then was away from home for 3 months.
