fixing uneven bevels with the Wicked Edge.

Nice work. It is too bad that you had to reprofile it to get to a decent cutting edge. This is where the WE rocks.

It's also too bad it doesn't have a sharpening choil or a plunge line far enough from the edge to not interfere.

Nice looking knife, though.

Thanks. Yes, it is too bad. This could easily be solved with a careful hand and a dremel tool. The little divots do not bother me, but if they did I would not hesitate to put a little more sharpening choil into it. An eight of an inch is all it would need.

I realize this would put some people off, but It is a really cool knife, worth putting the effort into.


EDIT TO ADD: If someone would provide some critique on my sharpening and knows of a way with the W.E. to sharpen back to the choil at 20DPS and avoid this problem I would be all ears.
 
I think the only way you could do it would be to expand the choir, but your knife is not that bad so I probably wouldn't.

I did get the Spyderco Black Mamba, which was totally awful as far as needing a sharpening choil expanded. That choil had to be expanded by a lot.

TR,
What is the thick plate with all the holes that the knife is laying on ?
Looks like some kind of jig table but I'm not seeing any signs of marks from welding being done on it. It's not a table on a milling machine . . .
what is that ?

It is a fixture table for welding. We use it to mount all sorts of clamps and hold-down brackets for fixturing repetitive jobs (enclosure cabinets for electrical switchgear). We do custom, low volume, high variability custom enclosures in lots of 1 - 10 parts. This substitutes for fixed tooling and can be changed for a new project quickly, but still make the parts repeatable.

We try not to weld on the table itself because it has a ground surface.

Good night! I have only ever seen one blade like that in my life, and it was a mistake that escaped production. It did not get the final plunge grind or the final sharp edge. I've never seen a production knife released like that :eek::confused:
