i agree with ray LEARN freehand.....trust me i tried all sorts of jigs the first year of making knives...that was a year wasted i didn't learn freehand at all after that year i started to really learn how to grind first off things looked better i can do things i cant with a jig and i learned a whole lot quicker than a year so i wasted a lot of time in the year with jigs....the only thing that i use sometimes and this could solve your problem is get a "file guide" it clamps on the blade right on the plunge lines and you grind up to it and it makes the plunge lines even...but even still you should learn to do it without even that....what happens if you don't have your jig and you cant do free hand then you cant do anything.....you don't need to waste good steel get some mild or scrap steel and practice on that
