The edge. You can see it on the 2nd photo. Or is a line from hardening?

Very nice knife, cool inspiration story as well. If I may nitpick. The bevel looks uneven grinded.

All looking good. Jaleous of the time you spend at the anvil. I spend my hobby time also around an anvil, but it is to fix up a hobby car. At least it is metal

What did you do in the shop today?
Nope, was my first try and failed spectacular. Made like a scroll and I used a scrolling tong to keep the angle of the bar more or less consistent. If I ever do a serie or matching set, i would make an mandrel, because I think it will be faster. Was 10x10 square, but yeah for the ribbon part i flattend it to more or less 20x4.5 or 5 The end piece i went to 25x4. The only problem i see with the handle is that i did not made a stand so hanging or standing is a bit hard for the time being. Good thing is that i have my giftidea for him next year.

How do you guys maintain your power tools?
I never had an angle grinder cutting out on me because of overheating. And i worked 6 years at a shipyard. Frying up an extension cord yes, especially with fibre discs. The small ones, with 125mm discs. On the bigger ones, it was me who crapped out of overheating But than i see you said cheap. Maybe there is the problem. The bosch or makita they run, till the brushes are gone. And than you get new brushes. The cheap grinders i only use in fibreglass. Because the nasty dust, cheap or expensive, they get worn out fast (and I don't earn enough to replace the expensive ones).

Quench bucket question
Depending where you live that is not a problem. And even than, the 1 or 2cm of ice it will get on top are a non issue

Quench bucket question
thats what I do, use till they leak. Empty and use a new one. And they continue to serve as a garbage container (don't forget to put a bag in it) Now I use an old vacuumcleaner. The vacuumpart is broken, but the stainless steel body is perfect. And it has wheels, very handy.
