Thanks for the replies everybody. I should have mentioned in my original post that I made this knife – my first one in fact. Tcmeyer turns out to be exactly correct. I put my calipers on the blade, and as much as I tried to grind even primary bevels, the belly of the knife, just behind the secondary bevel, is substantially thinner than the heel and the tip.
It cuts reasonably well, although I didn’t spend to much time sharpening it after I realized the bevels were uneven. It’s been a fun learning experience and I’m looking forward to making the next one.
