Posted this on another forum but figured this would get more tech response here. Has anyone re-profiled the edge on their Clinch Pick? I just received mine. Love the design, the size and handle, not however lovin the edge. I would think a zero grind such as on a katana would be better. Mine was no where near as sharp as I thought it should be. I would expect a shaving edge. I have not measured the angle of the edge but I think a re-profile to make the edge sharper and have less drag would be better. What do you all think? I am considering doing this myself, but would reconsider if I see something that grabs me.

Thanks Ransom! I still gotta get your box back to you hehe
Here are some before and after pics... was SUPER thick, now has a nice thin razor edge =) I basically took it to zero (or very close) then micro beveled on the Wicked Edge. Then I enhanced the swedge if I remember correctly to make everything flow together.
