Jeremy, Hang in there. It will come to you through persistence and much trial and error. I have far more blades and finished knives in the junk drawer than I have successfully produced for sale, and fully expect to ruin (LEARN ON) quite a few more. The most important thing is to enjoy the process, and never send out a knife that is not a fair representation of your skills at the present time. Ed's work, along with many others, will sometimes make us feel like tossing our lowly creations in the garbage, however on a good day their work gives me a reason to push through the hard times and get serious about my growth as a maker. I no longer put time deadlines on my projects; knife making itself is stressful enough at times.
