Thanks, Andy! I'm grinding and heat-treating today, so there will be more pics...
Hey Don, the tip is too corroded to really tell how the point and the hollow grind were resolved... the spine looked, say, 5-6mm thick, tapering down toward thw tip but also becoming corroded. Did you ever see this one I did? The hollow lightens the blade and gives it some structural strength. It definitely helped with the kukri-curve issue in the heat-treat as well.
