Same procedure as described here:
http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=775806
BRKT Bravo 1 was my first experiment that I have done long time ago and recently shared here on BF.
BRKT Manitou is my second. The procedure is the same, but I have used grinder to do the major flattening of JB after it hardened, finished it with sandpaper.
Again, keep in mind, this is just MY Manitou, yours might not be the same. MY knife was used and sharpened. Also, as far as I know all BRKT knives are ground by hand, so there might be some differences right from the start. In any way, I think this should give a better idea about what to expect from such knife.
Manitou is a hunting knife and clearly is not designed for any abuse. Of course the very edge can be modified (sharpened a bit) to more obtuse angle if one desires more robust edge.
The profile cast was taken where I think the edge is the thinnest (right on the belly). I do realize that profile looks almost like full flat grind, but there is a very very slight convex curve there. Because of such thin profile and the nature of the procedure, there might be some slight errors, so treat all measurements merely as very approximate values.
