That looks great! How long did that take overall?

Around 200 minutes handwork, several hefeweizen beers and a lot of elbow grease.
This is my first meeting with the Emerson's 154CM steel heatretment and I like it - I have no problem to put it next to my Benchmade's 154CM blades
 
Beautiful knife, I did something similar with Benchmade griptilian tanto on belt sander.I am getting an Emerson or two very soon(my dealer doesn't have models that I want in stock).
 
My question is what did this regring accomplish, besides doing something custom that made the person knife non-stock?? I am personally not a person who tinker with something like a Glock handgun that too me work betterv thasn well as designed.

That would be a much better slicer than the standard Emerson profile, at the cost of ability to withstand punishment.

Great answer, and I love my CQC-7 but it is not perfect, but almost as perfect as my Glock, that beats the crap out of my S & W 39, or 59 that weresold off years ago. Because they were not reliable!!!!
 
Man that's purrty.

What was the hardest thing for you to do during the process? My guess would be maintaining the angle; but I think that after a while, it gets really really easy.
 
I'm used to this type of modification - through my hands passed over two hundred blades for convexing over the past four years - from simple spring steel Glock field knife 78 trough average class stainless steel - AGS 8 vg10, 154cm to s30v and duratech 20cv and zdp 189 - it is time to buy a belt grinder :D

The steps are:

removing a lot of metal

establishing convex blade profile

making a finer scratch pattern

Nice job , I have zeroed a few knives this way and I know the time effort and frustration it can cause. Very clean and kudos to you, but next time go for the mirror polish :D
