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.

Have you tried draw filing with a large sharp (new) file?
