sharpening benchmade 710

[ericp]

I just got a benchmade 710 and sharpened it.
I used a 15 degree relief with 100 stone
and 17 degree edge with 100, 320, 600 stones
and 3000 polishing tape (can we say
Apex Edgepro?)

Are these good angles for this blade?
I've gone mirror finish for the whole
blade since I do lots more push cuts
than sawing/slicing.

I did that to my 910BT and the tanto corner edge is too thick and it looks funny now. It seems that the 910BT tip portion of the edge has to be sharpened at a lower angle.
