Help please, I've always admired that edge that you put on knives, can you help a bro out?
 
Sir, thanks for thinking of me, but I only apply my work to my knives, I was putting a lot energy into improving ( in my opinion ). The edge of Busse knives while my own knife making suffered, that's was the wrong path for my future. So I focused my energy into Horton Knives and I am very happy with the results, I improve daily. Thanks Sir, J
 
Are your Platinum edges/grinds convex? Or what degree/angle and how thin is the edge? Just ask'in Thanks,
 
Too much data,, Sir,, all my edges are convex, both of my hands are full while working, ,,can't hold protractor. Thanks. J

I thought you just spray painted the edges silver?

No problem, I understand. Can you or anyone else recommend someone who could create that type of performance edge on my Busse? I know Tom Krien does a lot of grinding but I'm not sure he does that type of edge.

In addition to the excellent "Garth" suggestion ... you could also pick up a Horton of your very own.

I find that Busses and Hortons co-exist very well indeed.:)

Oh. I've also heard that Richard J puts a mean, mean edge on a knife. Ban also does a great job, but he might still be busy with his own professional life.
 
The Horton edge is spectacular. Here it is on a Horton Camp Blood.

I was also lucky enough to catch Jeremy while he was still working on Busses.

Smart move Guyon...I got Jerm to hook up an NMSFNO and a Skinny ASH. I've kept the NMSFNO mint, but the Skinny as taken an absolutely ridiculous beating. So much so that I failed to keep up the edge. I need to do some serious work on it, as my feeble efforts of sandpaper and a strop have failed to replicate the renown platinum edge.
