Regrind Benchmade Non Conformist

[Zenturio]

Hello there,

on Friday a friend of mine repaired the electrics of my beloved Belt Grinder (50x2000, 1,8 kW, variable speed).

So today I did my first serious regrind since 3 years or so.

Belts used: P60 VSM ceramic, P120 VSM ceramic and finished with 3M Trizact A160.

I also reground the swedge.

Looks very good to me. A reason for that might be the flat platen i made also 3 years ago (D2, 61 HRC precision flat ground).

More to come Hope you like it.

On first blush I'm not sure what the improvement is here.
Specs before and after ?
All this for a combination edge ?
Do you particularly like combo edges ?

Sorry to be so dense but what knife is the blade in ? ( Brand / Model )
Benchmade Non Conformist
oops; dense is the word . . . maybe if I have more coffee it will help me

I'm glad the repair on your machine was successful ! ! !

Hi,

reason for the regrind was that the thickness behind the edge was too high nd the blade coating was scratched.

I do not like combo edges in particular, but I like Benchmades with combo edges.

And another reason for doing the regrind is because I love to do it

Cool

Yeah the regrind was to get the knife thinned out behind the edge. They cut so much better this way, as well as it being easier to sharpen a smaller bevel. I've done a few like this myself. Here's one of my very first attempts, a user-grade Pro-Tech. This one has been in my EDC rotation for about 10+ years.
