Welcome to the darkside....You'll never look back now. Plenty of knowledge and skill hiding in this site. Use it well and you will get much better quickly! Have fun and be safe!
On monosteel blades I forge the bevels in as well. On a pattern weld I usually forge to shape if I can without distorting pattern too much and then grind bevels. Does this make sense?
When I use a file for forging I anneal then grind teeth off before forging. This may help eliminate stress risers as well. 1/8" spine width is not too thin IMHO. Make for a good slicer.
