I put a Wicked Edge on my 0550 last night and I think she came out pretty nice . . .

The factory grinds were a smigeon different so I settled on the medium of 19 degrees I spent a good amount of time with a sharpie determining which way to go before I went all in . . .

I sliced a super ripe tomato with this knife at my desk today and the blade basically fell through the tomato from the gravity Don't let anyone say a Hinderer designed ZT isn't a slicer. With the right edge, they do
