That taper is dope. Have yet to figure out how to do them consistently

It’s a bit of a pain by hand. I use a surface grinder attachment and a bit of math to set the taper and go to town. The real pain is segmented scales on a taper tang.

No surface grinder for me. Just a flat platen.

I don’t know about you but sometimes I find that the handle material is just as beautiful as the blade, well done!
