Thank you all for welcoming to the yard <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

So here are a few pictures of my first dog...

I had a problem with a grind so i took it to a knife sharpener to fix it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" />

He put a semi convex on it but in a bed way..

Here you can see how grind is going up and down

Man that's a wild grind but if it's sharp and the edge itself doesn't have different levels of height it should be fine. I kinda like how if looks.

Like they said it is not an EVEN grind. But if the steel was not overheated and the actual edge is not wavy, use the heck out of it! You'll get an even grind line on it. And it's still a fine looking piece of steel! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I like the looks of that LE, I prefer the CG for myself but the LE is very striking. I'm sure you'll get the edge right eventually, good luck with it.

I like it because it makes the knife look less valuable than it is.

Congrats on your blade. If the convex bothers you contact Horn Dog as he is a master at fixing and making things sharp.

Sweet looking blade, the edge doesn't look too bad just a little uneven.
