It depends on your skills, both forging and grinding. You might get by with 3/16".

If by "upsweep" you are talking about the point of the blade curving upward, this happens all by itself as you hammer in your bevels. You actually have to take steps to stop it if you want a straight blade.
A finger groove can be hammered or ground, your preference. Seth
