This one had a very thick grind on it that simply would never cut well, and not only that but it had a thick V edge on a Chisel ground primary, which was a challenge to figure out how to fix this and get it to cut well. Also fixed the slight recurve at the heel... This is what I came up with, watcha think?

That is a new life for that knife. That was a pretty brutal sharpening that the knife had originally, for being 3 years old it must have been treated like a rental car on prom night. :D

That looks better than I could have hoped!
 
I really like the finish that you leave on the metal. Its classy yet rugged at the same time.
 
Josh! Did you read my post??!! :D
I have come to understand the secondary edge bevel but... if I want to go with a zero grind, I'll contact you. danks!
