Ok,

Did some more shaping last night and came to the conclusion that I need to back away from CPM154 for a bit and move to an easier metal for the first knife. I spent about 45 minutes starting to file the bevel into the blade and barely removed any material at all. This is going to be a labor of love.

Like I said, I have ordered some 1095 steel so I will shift gears when that material arrives. This will also give me a chance to actually take more pictures. I need to get into the habit of taking a pic at each step of the way.

Update with pictures on Monday.
