I was making this along with the last one and trying to slow down even more. The grind is down to about 60 %, so more to come. I have ceramic so that I can hopefully back up and get good plunge lines. I have stayed away from that area so far. One tool that I could not live without is the file guide so that the guard fit is square. I have never used it in grinding the blade. Actually no guides or even a rest, just all freehand. Really close to getting that TX grinder. The tang is long enough to run all the way through this one for a pommel that is threaded. I assume I can just round it or get it close and thread it. Going to go for it since the stag is straight.

I like it! Yes you can thread the end of the tang by grinding it roughly round, depending on the thickness of the tang. A file guard is very useful.
