This was a fun grinding project

[REK Knives]

This is a Gerber Emerson Alliance auto. I had to disassemble to do the grind, and yeah, upon reassembly the pivot screw snapped (probably due to the red lock tite in there/cheap screws). Anyway, got the snapped screw out and the threads cleaned out, just waiting on Gerber to get back w/ me! So this blade used to be serrated (as you can see) but my customer wanted the serrations removed and opted for a regrind. I think he chose wisely as this will perform like a new knife! It is almost zero ground but has a micro-bevel about .005" thick at 15 dps.

What a difference! Nice job as usual. I'm really going to have to get you to do one of my knives at some point.

Thank-you for the compliments!

Man... this thing was a PAIN to disassemble and reassemble w/ all the springs lol. Anyone know how good Gerber is about replacing screws?

A difference that is measured in light years, and a true feast for the eye if you are a knife afi.
The owner will be very pleased.
