Just wondering if anybody else that has a contego that has sharpened there's or re-profiled has noticed how acute the angles are.

I just got mine in today and since I despise Factory grinds, I sharpened mine and realized the factory grind was at 15 DPS. That seems really low for a factory blade although I know it is M4, it just seems crazy that Benchmade would grind it at such a low angle

On a side note, this is my first m4 blade and Holy crap does that m4 have an aggressive bite to it. I finished it a 600 grit and a 4m stop and it was cutting free hanging hairs...just nuts, it only took about 15 minutes to get it there...love this stuff

All my production m4 blades have better edge stability than most any other production knife steels I've used. They can handle thinner, more acute edges without chipping or rolling.
I don't recall my 810 being noticeably more acute from the factory.
 
I started sharping it at 20dps(for hard use) and had to reset the kme twice before I found where the factory grind was at(15dps)
