That jig and file method really did a nice job. I'll bet the knife holds an awesome edge while being easy to resharpen.

@SurefireWoodsman Hey. Thanks for watching. It does put a nice edge on the blade once things are heat treated. Swapping the file for sandpaper to finish and polish the grind was an idea another fella shared with me and it works great. Take care,

this idea seems to be perfect ;). how long do you need for a blade (both sides)? what angle (per side) do you found to be the best? thanks in advance!!!

@mrniceonline Thanks for watching. So, It usually takes between two and three hours for me but it can be done faster.  I like to use 10 degrees a side for the angle to rough it out and then I finish it up on sandpaper after heat treatment. I hope it helps.
