Hi All,
I'm new to the forum, but have had my mini-CQC7-A for well over a year. I went through all the headaches of trying to sharpen it to hair-poppin edge. After much effort learnig and practicing, I can now usally get that edge. At one point I had a guy at a local knife show sharpen it for me after I had royally screwed up. He did a great job, and as I said I can maintain it now. My question relates to something this guy said while fixing my mistakes. He told me he could turn the edge into a conventional grind so that it could be sharpened in a normal manner-ie spyderco sharpmaker lansky etc. In other words a 20 degree angle on each side of the blade. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Let me say that I love my mini. It fits my hand as if designed for it. Size is perfect, and construction superb. I tend to seldom carry it for fear of screwing up the edge again. Would it be worth it to have a normal grind as opposed to the chisel. Your opinions would be greatly appreciated.
Droopy,
 
IMO, if you would be more comfortable with a double ground edge then go for it. Its your knife. Do with it what you please.
 
If he puts a v-grind on that secondary bevel, not only will you have more confidence in it so you'll actually use it, but when you do, it will cut straighter. Go for it. Like one2gofst said, it's your knife -- customize it all you like.
 
definitely do the v grind if your up for it, cause imho the sharpened on one side thing really sucks, maybe for a purely sd situation or whatevers it might be ok but for edc it's not too great for me at least
