ive ground 5 knives so far as well as some mild steel to experiment with. I purchased the bubble jig as well. for some reason I cannot get a flat grind or decent looking plunge lines. I have peaks and valleys in my blades as it seems I am not capable of holding the knife flat for a whole pass. the spine as well as the blade looks similar to bacon. I am usually able to correct the blade to get it somewhat straight and usually round out the spine some to hide it. one plunge is usually pretty swept and in a slightly different spot and the other is usually crisp. I am switching the belt to overlap on the side of the platen that I am grinding on trying to get gradual plunge lines. I am using the bubble jig as well as a jig for plunge lines I received from another member here. The fact that I cannot get a flat grind to be flat is really frustrating.
