Well all I really started out to do was complete the full convex grind and sand out the INFI dimples. I had trouble getting the existing swedge to look right so I straightened it and lengthened it and then I realized that it was becoming a bowie, so I just went with it. Once the swedge was straight it changed the whole look of the blade. It is less functional for batonning, but probably better for drilling and sticking things. And I always did prefer the Bowie shape in a big knife.
