Greg,

You can only get the satin finished Persian shown in the pictures by being a member of the ECA.

It is possible to resharpen a zero ground edge, I do this on a semi-regular basis with my CQC6 - it does take some practice. I think the basis for the comments I have seen has been a worry about sharpening with the curve of the blade.

Regards,

Ed

yes, that is what i heard, the curves would make it difficult...just wondered, if hard to sharpen, would be more a collector than user for me.......

BUT

could this just be another inflated claim of emersons being impossible to sharpen?????ie- have heard its impossible to get a SOCFK/CQC7 tanto razor sharp,w/the chisel grind edge, which i know is false lol

SIFU1A,
I can sharpen a zero grind without a problem, but I aint touching this one. Its going to go back if it ever needs it.
