....... two weeks is an inside joke. While the Custom Shop is closed you are always best to email Busse direct to get the best answer as it is never as simple as yes or no. @Garth Reckner would be your best point of contact.

If there is edge damage that you are uncomfortable sharpening out, they will fix it. As Andy said, Garth is your man. Great guy!
He even re-etched the BUSSE logo on my stripped Battle Saw while it was being sharpened. It is razor sharp too after its trip to the mothership.

It would also be a fantastic opportunity to learn to sharpen yourself.

my sharpening has shown time and time again that I am great at screwing up a perfectly good bevel.

Thanks so much for the shoutout, but I closed books a couple months ago just trying to get caught up on orders as I also start making my own products - not enough time in the day for it all!Josh

I'm actually working on your three today... Just started
This is amazing news because I'm 99.99% sure not even the saltiest of salty Hogs has ever beheld a REK'd Extraction Unit 17 Magnum.
But it's gonna happen if Mr. William Collector doesn't lock down my credit before then.
You've heard of him, right? You probably know him better as "Bill."
BTW, I knew your regrind books were closed and that's why I didn't redirect jharp to ya.

Just went to Josh’s site. Wow! Very nice work. Sounds like he’s not taking new business but that’s too bad, I’ve got a few blades that could use his TLC.

Too thick? Is it the height? I only have a few Busses, but I was able to sharpen the FMV8 pretty easily. I haven't tried the FMV14 or Last Rites yet.

Yeah... It works fine (diamond stones cut it no problem) it's just that it takes FOREVER since it's so thickly ground and with such a long blade, and I don't even want to think about reprofiling lol

Just trying to take the bombproof tip on my HG55, from this <bottom blade>:
to this <approx 40 deg. inclusive>:
It sucked a few hours of my life down the grinding rabbit hole using a DMT diafold.
It's the type of exercise in futility your Dad would term "character building."
