I used a grinder for the shaping and initial honing
I used a 4X36 belt sander to grind through the razor... It is a wood sander, but it obviously can eat away at metal...

That big, heavy one -sans hole- would pull a pretty penny for sure. It's a beaut. The beefed up tang and worked spine are excellent touches

Man, I can only imagine the sickening feeling when you burned thru...
I'm planning on starting on mine tomorrow and now know that I'm not going for a full hollow on round one anyway...

I think what you should do is drill a series of holes along the blade. Similar to file work on the spine. Drill work on the blade.

I quite like the idea of putting a series of holes in the blade (different) cool!!!!
If all else fails it could become a nice frame back project?
