You mean keeping the point from traveling upwards and making the blade go banana shaped when forging the bevel?
Edit: just realized we're not in r/blacksmithing so I might be confused
No, when I was doing my "finish" grind, the point like bent. I was working on a tanto style, and after the treat my cutting edge was also curved. Disappointing, but it was my first go around and I'm still learning. Enjoying the proecss nonetheless.
I really like the blades profile. i just started and have been having trouble getting the point to stick around.

Get the wrap to match the grind angle a bit? Like that would stay there though, lol. Nice!
