Hello all, some of you might be familiar with me from the Busse forum, but I'm now an official swamp dweller with the purchase of a Desert Jack. WOOHOO!!!
It's just what I wanted, and I got it for a fair price to boot. My only worry is that the edge has been re-profiled to a zero-edge, and has worrisome tiny chunks of actual edge missing. It was reprofiled on mousepad/sandpaper with a final grit of 600, but (and I am not making accusations here, only trying to create a visual picture) it looks exactly like a blade that's been sharpened on a Kitchen V grinder: the final grind lines are horizontal rather than vertical, with missing parts of the edge about .1mmdeep by .25mmlong, by my calibrated eye and 10x loupe.
The "serrations" do make it a wicked slicer!! but I'm worried the edge won't be as durable as I need it to be.
I'd like to keep it, but I need some advice on how to get the edge into a more durable and uniform state.
Thanks Rats!
JB
