Today I carry a freebee, one of my co-workers just found out about my lust for sharp things and bought me a bk-11!

I asked because its usually a guided system that has not been dialed in correctly that will widen the bevel like that. Back On topic,

Very rarely is it the system that does that. Most of the time it's just the knife itself. The stock gets thicker near the tip, but on a guided system the edge angle stays the same - which results in widening of the bevel at the tip.

Constant angle + increasing stock thickness = increased bevel thickness. You see this on freehand edges as well, but not at commonly since most of us naturally adjust our angle near the tip.

This beauty for the past week or so. For such a thick blade it actually cuts very well.

Small Insingo for the last couple days. Nice EDC size with the clip removed and dropped into my right front pocket.

If the system pivots from a fixed point, it's only a constant angle at a fixed distance from the pivot point, i.e., along a circle. Since the edge doesn't follow a circle, there will be variance. Where you attach the system will influence the max/min amount of variance. In that pic, if the pivot point was placed near the handle, it make the edge look as it does. For example (red dot = pivot point, blue lines are there to show how the distance to the pivot differs):

Waved Endura for me today. My first Spydie--sold it and bought it back again recently
