I'm after an Emerson Commander, but will only be interested in I can get someone to "fix" it for me.

Commanders have a double ground blade, but a chisel ground edge. I need the chisel grind to be re-ground to a "normal" double ground 20 degree angle on each side, so I can sharpen it on my Sharpmaker on the "40" setting. I may also wish to have it satin finished to 400 or 600...which ever is a nice, usable finish similar to a Benchmade or Spyderco. Thanks!!!

Hmmm. Intriguing project. I would offer to do it, but I am at college and won't be near my belt sander anytime soon to redo the edge. Belt sander is much more precise than flat stones. If it isn't a rush, I will be home late Feb and the first week in March. Email me to discuss this as no one else seems to want to do this.

What finish is on the commander now??

I would be willing to do this, but I think that the blade would become a little thinner width wise, and might not look the same when done. It might sit lower in the handle, and not function how it was designed to, but it might be fun to experiment with. Let me know.

Thanks guys...I am hoping for a hard chromed Commander, but blk. ti. isn't out of the question either. The blade is double ground so I didn't think it would be a problem. Just thought the edge could be re-profiled, but then again, I don't have one right here in front of me. How much do you think it would effect the blade? I'd hate to ruin a new knife...

Get the knife and see how you like it and what grind it has. You may be better off leaving the finish as it, and getting a Lansky kit (diamond) and work the 20 degree in yourself. The coating is there to protect the blade, and it will be hard to remove it.
