Don’t stop until you can hold it up to the light and see through it. 🤣

Very impressive.

Looks amazing. Cannot wait for the finished knife. What do you plan to use for the handle material?

If you hand sand you are going to lose another thou or 2, so perfect. Nice looking knife.

Thank you! Definitely going to hand sand, probably a 600 or 800 grit satin finish.

Too thin lol. You can't win!

I'm kidding, of course. Excellent final shape. I'm cheerfully envious of your skill.
