Yeah...No, it does not sit flat...even after I modified it. It is closer to flat now, but not there yet. I set a bevel and had to try some interesting techniques to do so. I got tired and pushed away for a while.
I have 90% of the blade to the point where it will pop hairs a few mm from my arm off the 1000 grit, but I need to figure out the BEST course of action for this warp at the toe.
In the mean time, I added some jimping and did a pseudo-polish on the blade.
Not perfect...but also not done;)
