So I was tinkering around following one of the Junglas mod threads on here, and while everything was going good disaster eventually kicked in.
I had the die grinder buck out of the choil I was adding, and it rode the blade for about 4" from the heel to tip.
After sharpening most of the horrible stuff out for a couple hours worth of my time, Its still very visible and to bring it back on my "non-diamond" Lansky will take forever. I know its just a chopper for me but it kills me knowing that it has been abused and I prefer all blades to have shaving edges.















Is there any advice for an aggressive re bevelling process? Belt sanding? maybe even con vexing the edge?
I've never attempted belt sanding and have never convexed an edge or owned anything with one so kinda just stuck as to what to do.
Sucks to put 2 days of work into a blade and have a chattered edge :mad:
 
I have had "wounds" like that on several blades and I'm like you, I don't care what kind of knife it is i want the best edge possible for it. That said I have found a high grit sanding drum of a dremel tool well help, If not than a mill-bastard file thats nice and sharp will do the job too. Your knife will be fine and you won't need to convex it just take up the grit and really start removing steel but remember if you use a dremel keep the blade cool to the touch because you don't want to ruin the edge temper.
 
Use a stone and sharpen it. A norton silicon carbide stone would work.

A lansky would not be a very good choice for that size of blade.
 
Yeah, have some sharp files might attack it later this week.
And the lansky is Definately not the sharpener for this. I can't even use it with there angles.
I pretty much have to put the stone on the blade and eyeball the bevel to stone relationship.
Need to invest in some stones.
