i was catching up on the reading and got to the post about your chipped blade...any chance when you get it back from the spa that you could post your "re-re-profile" pic and a new pic of how the "re-re-re profile" looks... if it doesnt violate any of the secret rules that I may have not figured out yet of course! ...Jerrys comment was interesting about how "it looked thin"...Id like to see how they fix it for curiosity sake...

all this grinding and sanding 'N blade "gemometry-ing" is kinda of new to me so I really appreciate the conversation and ideas but a pic here would be worth 10 million words for me! (not that Id ever get to the point of a reprofile with a belt sander in the first place but I do appreciate the craftsmanship and seeing how it turns out...)

thanks in advance if you will, ignore if you want as well.

I didn't send it back in to the shop, I sharpened out the dents and reprofiled the edge to something beefier that will hold up to abuse better. I had thinned the edge to roughly 10 degrees per side, which seems to be near the limit of where INFI can take abuse. The edge I put on the knife after was a lot stronger, and the cutting performance was still there.

There isn't really much difference in the knife from before grinding than to after, besides losing a little bit of blade height, but it doesn't make all that much difference in a blade that wide. I'd take a picture but I already packed up the knife for a trade.
