hi guys,,,i have a few busse's that need a good sharpening.dont want a convex just a good old "v" edge.:thumbup: who would be a good choice to send them to??
 
Me, but you might not get them back (I kid), :D I would just send them to the Busse shop if all you want is a V grind...;)
 
Richard J is quick, and does a lovely sharp VEdge or convex.

He has converted a lot of guys here over to his paper wheel sharpening method. I have even seen full custom makers (well established and experienced) switch their method over to his paper wheeo method after decades of using other systems.
 
How about Ankerson? Is he still around? He sharpened a lot with the edgepro. Just another thought to add to the great suggestions above.

Richard J is your man Red! He does an excellent job with the paper wheel. However, I know his hands hurt after sharpening the big guns so if all you have is big guns...it might be better just to send 'em in to Busse. Grinding can be hard on the paws.
 
Ban is in California
 
Send Richard J a message. One of the nicest folks to talk to. If he says he can do it, he can do it.
 
Ban, and norcalblacktail both do lightning sharp edges, but unless I am mistaken, specalize in convex edges.


I, my self have converted all my edges over to convex because I fing them so silly easy to maintain at a shaving, hair poppin level.

Read up on some convexing tutorials, then send them to some of the mentioned convex wizzards for conversion (I just do my own, but I would hate to see some one just learning ruin their nice Infi).
 
thanks for all the info guys.id do it my self but the ones that need the sharpening are ones with really thick edges especially at the curve up to the tip.one i have has such a thick edge at the curve the tip is pretty much nonexistent.it would require more work than want to do.im either going with busse or try to contact richard j.
 
I do have to say, I was just thinking. By the time you pay some one else for sharpening, and shipping and insurance on more than one knife, you might want to look at getting a nice sharpening system like the EdgePro.

With course stones included in the set, you can make short work of even big knives, and also have a system that will allow you to get hair whittling edges on your own any time you want.



I don't think the shop charges for resharpening, but you will be out the shipping and insurance.
 
I agree with the guys above suggesting that you learn to do it yourself. I recently had a knife go missing in the mail.
 
i have an edgepro and am pretty good at getting and maintaining a edge.the ones im talking about are to involved and require the curve and tip to be reprofiled.id rather have a pro do that:thumbup:..
 
The edgepro system is a great because it's a jig set up, it allows you to get a great edge without much skill at all. The most skill you need is just being able to keep the knife flat on the table, it does the rest.
