Rebeveling a Keith Johnson Knife

[Magnaminous_G]

I wanted to bring out the potential of this beautiful knife in CPM D2. I brought the primary angle down to about a 22 inclusive V with DMT Duo-Sharps to XF and Spyderco UF. Finished with 1 micron DMT Dia-Paste on cowhide. The knife took the new profile beautifully. I wanted to make an already fine knife a great performer. I think it makes the blade more aesthetically pleasing, too.

EDIT: Here's the original edge for comparison:

And if you like to watch people sharpen, here's the vid:

You're video doesn't work - at least for me.

There's a lot more about rebeveling in the "Maintenance, Tinkering & Embellishment" forum.

Still uploading at this time. Video will be viewable in about 2 hours. I wanted to post this here because I thought traditional lovers and Keith Johnson fans might like it. But if mods think it doesn't belong here, feel free to move.

The only thing tying this thread to Traditional is that lovely knife.

Off we go to maintenance...
