I like to use Sharpie fine point markers to roughly plan how my scales are going to look in relation to the plunge cuts and maker’s mark. Again, it’s just a rough idea and I may change things up during the grinding process, such as bevel height or plunge angle, or I may decide to add a swedge. Below: The top knife has been heat treated and beveled. All that’s left is GunKote, scales, and sharpening. I brought the bevels to a near zero edge which will make for a very sharp blade.
