Modded WD5 up top. Original factory config on the bottom.

What did you sharpen that top blade with? An angle grinder?

To reduce the shoulder behind the edge & sharpen the edge itself there was some electricity involved, along with diamond plates, buffing wheels & compound, a bit of time on diamond & ceramic rods, and stropping.

I have been really impressed with what Dan and the Scrapyard guys have been able to do with AEB-L. Mine has been mostly a kitchen knife to this point and it has performed wonderfully. With hunting season here I hope to get a chance to use it more.

Which version is slicier, the regular WD5 or the trail point? Main use would be to field strip game.

 

[Garth Reckner]

Personally I would go with the trail point for field dressing/skinning. Either will serve you well but I like a narrower point for fine work.

Thanks Garth!

They are the same geometry, the trail version is just wd-5 with part of it removed from the spine.

100% agree! I actually used the trail point version as one of my primary butchering knives on my deer this year for tendon and silverskin removal for this exact reason.
