I haven't checked mine yet. Most of my XM's (non-skinny's) have come from the ranch at closer to 25 per side (they don't stay there though). When I profile my SS (skinny slicer), it will be at 20 per side to see how that works out.Anyone know the dps of the factory edge of the 3.5" skinny slicer? I suspect it is at least 20 dps, correct?

As thin as the stock is behind the edge, I feel more comfortable starting out at 20 per side, especially in M390.The factory bevel on my xm-18 3.5" skinny slicer is pretty narrow. Considering the blade is thinner than the standard xm-18 3.5", I feel it could be more than 20 dps. Am thinking about reprofiling it to 17 dps, but I imagine that will result in a much wider bevel.

Nothing a edge pro can’t easily change its first trip to the sharpening bench if need beMore like 22-25 on the Skinny’s I’ve had. Pretty typical for Hinderers, unfortunately.

Yep, unless I'm having a very busy week all my new Hinderers that will be carried don't last 24 hours before getting a nice 20° edge.Yep, pretty much all my Hinderers go straight to the Wicked Edge for “completion” upon arrival.
