    I've never really been able to capture my grind in a picture before and just happened to notice it being shown in a picture of a recently completed knife.

    Notice the flat(ish) section on top of the blade and then the blended transition below that going down into the bevel....

    *This is a follow up to the above post.

    The knife shown below should pretty clearly show the grind that my gyutos have. This picture was taken at the very start of the process using a 36x belt. I grind high bevels on the coarse belts and then blend the upper blade face down into the bevel using ever finer belts.
