Hello.
It seems that the factory edge of my Bugout is not even on both sides. Was thinking about fixing it. The question is how? Figure out the angle of the wider edge and then sharpen both sides with that? Is the coating going to cause any problems or sharpening just removes some coating and that's it?
Also the common sharpening angle for Benchmades is 20 degrees but clearly the actual edge is less than that (around 17 or so). Which angle should I use for my "daily" sharpening? The actual angle of the edge or 20?
Here are some pics as well.
Thanks!
