Today's work. I did the rough work and heat treating during the week, and today the final grinding. Again I didn't get to do everything I had wanted to because I had to drive the kids this morning.
This one needs a bit of extra work to straighten the spine line and smooth the tail stub. Other than that it was ready. The holes were a bit of a frivolous idea. I thought it would go well with a round point.

For this one I chose a French point. It has a modest humpback and a sunken thumbnotch. Instead of a moneky tail I made a very thin stub.

This one is based on my regular monkey tail, but more slender and flowing, and longer even.
