Lesson 13: How to Make a Railroad Spike Knife | DIY Knife Making: Aligning your Knife Blade
Once your bends are in your handle, it's time to check that your handle is in line with your blade.

Remember this step is all about fine tuning. So we won't be hammering too hard or making any large modifications. But the little, simple details are what can make your knife really shine.
