What sort of feedback were you looking for? No one is going to comment too much on a blank piece of steel. You asked for tips on improvement, for what? Improvement on the shape?Thats a personal thing. Nothing else done to it so how can we advise improvement when we don't know what you can do?

Perhaps folk are waiting for the next lot of pics as you progress through the making of it. :)

If i was to post up just a profile, (unless i was asking opinion on a new design) i fully expect the replies to either be non existent or along the lines of " Get off the internet, get off your bottom, get back in shed, and get some work done, chop chop" :D

thanks for advice lol tried making jig for scandi grind (my favorite grind) tried tonight but isnt going all too well can any one post a pic on a jig they use for scandi on bench grinder?
 
Bench grinder? As in drystone bench grinder? The only way your getting a scandi with that is to hope its expensive and trade it in for a belt grinder :) You need to build i filing jig if you only have round grindstones and you want a scandi and use a file instead. :)

as its my dads dry stone bench grinder i highly dobt he will let me trade it for a belt linisher i guess i may have to build a filing jig and in the future when i have money buy one of these http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/cbg6sb-6in-bench-grinder-with-sander ( it is used to make the jacklore knives so it must be up to the job!)
Thanks Ed
 
You can only do hollow grinds with anything circular. Filing jigs for flat stuff if you haven't a belt grinder. That belt grinder you linked to will do the job, but not quickly and you will struggle to mount a jig to it. :)

Jacklore dont use that according to their website
