As I mentioned, the spine was damaged and crooked (most on the right side).




I shot a couple of pictures... They are not the best quality, but they may be interesting.

This is seen from the tang, with the heel up. I think it's a nice, symetric grind.


An ugly spine! The "straight" side is actually the one, where the toe end of the spine had risen from the grinding support plate in the early grinding process


Not too bad (In my opinion )




This was already past the point where I should have stopped. It still needed HT, but was probably allready to thin. But, I did not know... YET!

Then sh!t happened. The friction from the belt caused the blade to heat up VERY locally. The blade said a little pang! and it had grown a pimple
