Hello all,


I just received my brand new 2013 (with standoffs) Emerson Horseman. I love the design of this knife. In fact I love many of the designs of Emerson knives. The only thing that has always stopped me from dropping my hard-earned money on them is the chisel grind. I tried a Mini A100 long ago and got rid of it within a month because for my purposes the chisel grind is just not working for me (I frequently have to change the angle of my cutting or the blade will skip off of the object that I inted to cut). I am not saying the chisel grind is bad however for my use it is not practical for me. Not trying to start a debate here.

With that said, is there anyone here that I should be looking to contact in order to have my Horseman reprofiled to the standard conventional - sharpened on both sides - grind (dual grind I gues you can say). I have never sent a knife away to be worked on and I don't mind paying more for a trustworthy source.

Thanks for your help!

P.S. Moderators if this needs to be posted in another area please move or let me know and I can close it and move it to the appropriate subforum.
 
Look up a member here by the name of "Richard J". He has a great following from what I have read. I have never had him do anything for me so take this for what its worth.

Good luck!

Thank you Admin for posting this in the right subforum. I thought the "Maintenance,, Tinkering & Embellishment" was for only showing off your own such work
 
I don't get the chisel grind either. But I gotta admit this MiniHorseman is one of the best designed knives I have every had (that is saying a lot since I just sold my Sebenza 25 as I did not like the design)
 
I am considering a cutsom that has a chisel grind. I have no experience with them myself but cant understand why it wouldnt work well? Any chance you could post a pic of the cutting edge of the knife in question for my reference?

What is the blade material made of on your knife? Couldnt you just reporifile the edge with some kind of guided system to what ever inclusive angle you want?
