Mods, Regrinds, Cerakote, and Sharpening

REK Knives · Mar 31, 2016

Boy I've been slammed... here's some pics of recent work!

Here's an XM18 that was a spearpoint! Now it has a Hellfire type grind w/ sterilized hand rubbed flats

XM18 Skinner... hollow ground the swedge, and reground to 220 grit finished at 15 dps

ZT 0561 reground to 60 grit and hand rubbed and sterilized the flats! Also enhanced the swedge...

Doc Shiffer custom folder that was pretty thick, reground to about .010" thick at 15 dps

Thanks so much Alex! Hope you are doing well!

I am good thanks!
Looks like you're doing well and I couldn't be happier, and there in no more of a deserving guy....

Been a while since we talked or worked on anything together....miss working with you man!

I have some ideas, and I'll be in touch!

How much do you charge for a regrind like the one of those on the XM18's?

That's truly amazing work!

damn makes me wish I would have gotten the swedge on my skinner hollow ground. Very nice!

Josh, have the XM24 skinner with me today. It exudes quality. Razor sharp, excellent grind lines and the enhanced hollow ground swedge is ridiculously nice. Your work makes my unmodified blades look crude. This skinner changed from OK to excellent.

Thanks for the work and willingness to try new ideas.

Once again, great job Josh. I picked up this Stretch for a song and now it's better than new.

Been carrying my Doc Shiffer Recon since I got it back from Josh. It is outrageously sharp now. Sharpest knife I've ever had. Outstanding work and service from Razor edge knives

Josh recently reground my DPX HIT- from a full wharncliff sabre grind to a full-flat wharnie with a little bit of belly. Not the best pictures (and forgive the lazy paracord work), but you get the idea:

Out of curiosity on the PM2 what parts were cerakoted? Thanks.

Sigsog226 · Apr 19, 2016

All but the scales, the scales are the blue ones that come on the s110v variant. Just low lighting in the picture.

Sorry just to double check before I try doing the same thing. You got the screws, liners and barrel spacer cerakoted? Thanks.

Chris, when you send it in just note on the form you want it blacked out with Armor Black Cerakote. I'll know what to do 😊

Just got this back today and put back together.
Outstanding work Josh!
Only glitch was not paying enough attention to the "caution sharp blade" warning on the sleeve...
Josh can certainly sharpen a blade. [emoji106]

I was putting a coat of Tuf Glide on the 3V and took a nice little slice off the tip of the index.
And for some stupid reason it put a grin on my face.

I can't wait to put this one to work, it's a beast and your grind looks incredibly slicey.
