Just got this TGLB back from Josh at Razor's Edge Knives! Beautiful, Immaculate, and Sharp as Hell! She now looks the way an Iconic knife should! Thanks Josh, Enjoy

Makeover Included

Stripped and bead blasted the fuller and talon/tang holes
Satin Finished to 220 grit
Converted the grind to a full convex zero grind then applied a microbevel on the Wicked Edge at 20-21 dps
Handles Sandblasted & oiled, then fasteners converted to torx bolts

Looks great! How long did you have to wait? I know Josh is a busy guy.
 
Nice!!!
Busses should hire one guy to do this stuff in house,,,, LOTS of money being left on the table.
On the other hand, the good thing is Busse mods are going to put Josh's kids through college!

Thanks dude =) Yeah so on Tommy's somehow I put it in the 'mod pile' instead of the 'regrind pile' (both of which have two significantly different turn arounds) and I didn't realize it until I told him I was going to be beginning on it asap (because I was coming up on the deadline for mods), at that point I didn't want to go back on my word so I went ahead with it.

But normal grind work is about 7 weeks right now, whereas mods are about 3 weeks. Sorry Ben, I know you have been SUPER patient waiting (you're right I've been crazy busy, it's starting to slow down a little bit now I think fortunately), I should be doing the FFG grind on your BB13 tomorrow actually!
 
Sorry Ben I meant 7 weeks, and thanks Josh for putting it in the wrong pile. I have another one (TGLB) I am going to be shipping to you, and would like very much if you could put it in the wrong pile also LOL! Thanks again Josh!!

Man that is sooo sweet guys! Nice work! I was going to wait on the LE release from the man but after seeing this work I might not be able to do that. Just a gorgeous blade really!
 
Thanks Petey, and yes I have already cut myself with it, The Sharpening Josh did is something I have yet to achieve-Razor Sharp (I am working hard however to improve my sharpening skills), just something about breaking in a new knife with Blood!
