I cant believe it actually works, holy shit, its one thing watching a shit ton of videos and preparing and another thing actually firing it up and hearing that fucking roar!

HOLY SHIT!

Any general advice is appreciated, please and thank you!

How long should bevels be?

Its my 3rd knife and haven't heat treated yet. He knife is pretty big 32cm/12.5inch long, 1075 steel.

The bevels are shit but im learning alot and one thing this knife is making consider is beveling cause it seems I haven't put much thought into them.

Like it looks(is) shit but wouldn't the bevel line disappear when I start sanding it with high grits (after heat treating and hardening)?

Im using 1 x 30 inch belt sander so any advice for grinding long knives is welcome! I've watched a couple of videos on beveling so im like, 40% sure i know what im doing.

Also what i want to know is if this shitty bevel will impact the practicality of the knife? I got a couple of wet stones so im a tiny bit worried about how itll affect the sharpness and cutting?

Please and thank you!
