The TTKZ --- With Azwelke Kydex and a Mirror Polished Edge

Rob_Mob · Nov 30, 2015

Hey All,

I finally received my Ganza TTKZ with an excellent made Azwelke open spine Kydex sheath. The fit and finish is superb and aesthetically it's exactly what I wanted.

The TTKZ is a beast. Mine weighs in at 33 oz and feels like a monster. The cerakoted finish is really gorgeous. I'm loving the Aged Bronze finish. So since this nicely will be filling a permanent user spot in my rotation --- I decided it was time for a mirrored edge.

I did some Reprofile work and optimized the edge. The edge angle is now 19 degrees per side (38 degrees inclusive) and has a .5 micron apex. It's been optimized to my preferences and needs. I love it. Took forever, but it was worth the time and effort. Just thought I'd share it with you all

Puts my edges to shame! Is there any real decrease in INFI's edge holding ability when taken down to the 20 degree range? My SOB dosnt have a very 'fine' edge on it, and I'm trying to talk myself into putting it on the edgepro.

I run my Pumpkin TGLB and Rodent Solution at 20 degrees per side convexed without any issues.

My CG SOB will get the same as soon as I get some pants for it.

Nice Rob, looks like she will bite deep.

Trust me my friend I understand. It makes you human, until know they have been absolutely flawless. I always wondered how you did it perfectly every time. You are still my wicked edge idol... That edge looks sick

Thanks man! I'm a moron and don't have the first clue as to convexing an edge, but that'll be my new project. That SOB will be... Well... an SOB with a good edge on it.

I think you can easily go near 15 degrees. I however prefer a more durable edge for rougher use. Mine is 19 degrees each side and all the other Busse I have that are 19 degrees are fantastic and effective.

Kind words my friend --- thank you --- but I'm always trying to learn to find ways to make them even better. It's a pleasure to use something that is as impressive aesthetically as it is functionally. Cheers!

You guys are awesome --- thanks for the kind words. Eventually I need to get around to putting a mirror polished edge on my NMFBM and the MOABOLO. That's going to be a lot of work -- but when it's done . . . . Watch out

Haha nonsense ---- but if you must know --- the first step is to always pour yourself a stiff drink. That way as your sharpening -- hours in --- you're still grinning and giddy
