So after coming across his thread I finally motivated myself to do something with the 1084 stock i purchased a while back. I have gotten to the point where i am shaping the blade itself. My question is what tools are best suited for working the blade edge? I originally ground out the angles on a bench grinder but im unable to get any real symmetry. Would i be better filing the edges? Any advice would be great.

I had a question. I know earlier in this thread or the blacksmithing thread someone mentioned places they used to get metal for knives. I was browsing through amazon and they had blanks and bars of steel for sale. Has anyone tried buying from there?

This place is hard to beat for knife steel
