Mmmmmm... Banana...

If you do a zero, tell Tom what you will be using the knife for and he will provide the correct edge geometry.
 
Anyone have a picture of a zero grind up close? I'm still a bit confused, since I always thought Emersons only have a primary grind and an edge bevel.
 
The back side of a "V" ground EKI has a zero bevel, a true ZB is the same as that on both sides.
Its sometimes called a scandi grind too.
 
Oh, yeah, a Scandi grind I know. I might preserve the CQC-8, but maybe I'll Kreinerize the PSARK I will invariably get.
 
I would keep it just as it is. My 8 is one of the sharpest knives I own, right out of the box.

Regrinding the blade will also void the warranty.
 
Good advice from a Buffalo. :D
Maybe do the re-grind when the knife becomes dull.
 
I'd think a zero grind would be something like a chakma, where the whole "blade" would be one uniform thickness. You know, because zero grinding was done to it.
 
MD---Try to acquire the book; The Samurai Sword, A Handbook, by John Yumoto. The book really helps the reader with the different blade shapes, "grinds."
 
And a person who does not own at least one Emerson...has ZERO brain power. :D

sure hope someone talks me out of it...My Missus will trade me in for two dogs and a goat.
 
It gets better with use. Between lubricant and lots of openings, my knife will open as fast as a Kershaw Speed Safe now.
