Does anyone do regrinds anymore?!

[Myztro]

Well I’ve been through the knife makers forums and it seems like everyone that did regrind work on folders is no longer doing it. I don’t have privileges to create a new post so I apologize to the moderators for having to ask this question here... I want to regrind and add a finger choil to my ZT0562 (similar to the XM-18) but can’t seem to find anyone that is still actively doing it. I realize I could just get the XM-18 but I’ve never modded a knife other than custom clips and scales and thought it would be cool to do the blade and support a craftsman. Anyway, point me in the right direction if you know someone!

Josh at REK still does regrinds I think. Good luck with the hunt!

Unfortunately he is no longer taking new work. See type in RED below:

David Mary has done a few of these as long as you can the item over to Canada, where the border inspection crew loves to steal folders.

Thanks for the shout out!

They do, but only when they can find a reason according to their statutes. They've never stolen one sent to me by a customer, because I will not do autos or balisongs, as they are illegal here, and for other knives I always have the customer tighten the pivot, which circumvents the grey area where they like to interpret flickable knives as illegal.

My regrinds are full flat/convex and as close to zero as the customer wants, with proper heat management, of course. In other words, the finished regrinds cut exceptionally well.
