Do you guys keep the factory grind or did you change yours? I have 2 so kept one factory and changed the other to 25 degrees and really like the little thinner edge. it is a work horse for me! just curious what you guys have done. My HRLM's I keep factory since I thump on them but really I can get the shaving sharp fairly easy.
 
My warden came with a 45* inclusive factory grind. I butchered it on re-profiling (sometimes you are too tired to know better). I've since stripped the blade am I think I'm gonna convex her.

Mine was horrible from the factory, uneven grind and dull as a round pipe, I changed it to 20degree and love it. I bought a used one recently that had never been sharpened, it had been used to cut some but the edge was still nice, I think its going to see the mouse pad and sandpaper to see how the convex edge and warden do together
 
I changed mine on a lansky so who knows what degree it really is. I used the 25 degree slot. My factory ground one is really good and sharp it just seemed to have to use to much pressure to cut.
