I just got back my Hinderer Spearpoint XM-18 in 20CV from Josh at Razor Edge Knives. I asked to get a high flat grind done, as this has been a heavy user and I wanted it to slice better. He did a fantastic job.
I sent him a picture of what I was thinking, asking if he could grind up along line B here:
and it was back to me in about three weeks. It is the sharpest knife I have ever handled. It is .010" behind the edge and 15dps. I refer you to his Google+ page to see how he ground it:

I used it on packages, food, and arm hair until today, and I took it to the Christmas tree and got rid of some of the lower branches:
The knife cut through so cleanly and quickly, I was just giddy. In fact, it cut through so well, I used too much force and banged up the edge a bit (hit the metal screw and dinged it), but it sharpened back up to perfect in about 2 minutes, and it is the sharpest edge I have ever put on a knife. No doubt that is due to the new geometry.
It is a lot of fun and very practical now. The blade is noticeably lighter and flips even better than it did before. I highly recommend razor Edge Knives to anyone thinking of getting work done.
Thanks Josh!
