A little grinding today. Originally I thought I would bring the grind up to the nail nick, leaving the upper portion of the blade full thickness and try to do a swedge. But that just wasn't going to work out. I took the grind all the way up to the top of the blade. Right now I'm deciding whether I want a swedge or leave it as it is...which I kind of like. Whatcha think?
