Looks like you reprofiled that, what angle did you reprofile it at?

I did not, and haven’t touched up the blade since I got it actually. The edge grind is rough, but it is sharp and cuts very well.

From the photo it looks like about a 15 degree reprofile. Looks a sharper edge than most that come from the factory. Here is one that i redid to 15 degrees. Cuts like a razor.

Mine looks a lot like that. I haven’t put any thought into reprofiling. I’ll eventually get there when stropping isn’t as effective as I’d like it to be.From the photo it looks like about a 15 degree reprofile. Looks a sharper edge than most that come from the factory.

As a side note I love that these aren’t meant to be knives that would win a beauty contest, but are a real throwback to just flat out how useful they are.

Not always. Not a good photo, but this is a fine a looking knife as you will find.
And these are the covers of a new addition. They were plain, and i have been wanting to do some experimenting with a wood application that as far as i know no one else uses. These now look 10 times better than from the factory, and would win most beauty competitions.

Nice looking photo Jon, having trouble zooming in, what is it laying on?
I can understand that, I could probably do it as long as being level isn’t important.

Here you go. Cleaned it, including the covers, flushed and oiled it, then reworked the Rosewood covers. They were okay, but i have been wanting to do some experimenting with some different wood applications. This was the first one, and really like how it turned out. As it came.
Now after some attention.

I love the smell of the weekend on Thursday morning. Have a good rest of your week, John, and a stellar weekend!
After a few busy weekends, I’m looking forward to some down time and doing a little knife maintenance. Both my standard buffalo horn and rosewood JB SFO are past due for a touch up for their edges.

You do the same, Greg... I'm glad it will be relaxing for you.
