I haven't forgotten, wolfy, but thanks for the reminder. Haha.
Spinner things...That's funny stuff, wsdstan! LOL!
Thanks, Vik! I appreciate your tips on improving #3. I think I have the tapered tang where it needs to be.
I've been pleased with the cutting performance of knife #2 and I got some positive feedback this weekend at Becker's Gathering.
One of the improvements to #3 versus #2 will be the plunge line on the lower bevel. So far, I've started the bevels with a flat grind against the platen and cut a sharp plunge line. It then takes a lot of time and effort to soften it. I need to begin grinding with a softer plunge line and not have to work so hard to soften it. See #2 on top and #3 on bottom.

Here is a peek at Kephart #3 - ready for some furniture.

Cleaner plunge lines and I took the lower bevel down even closer to that zero convex. #3 should be a little better than #2 and a little closer to the 5 oz. weight of the Colclesser knife.
You droolin' yet, wolfy?
