That is a nice looking grind. I have had my Commander since 1999, got it by chance at local police supplier. A local Deputy had orderd her and never come back for her. I kept checking back with the shop owner because I could'nt find one anywhere. After a time he sold her to me and I have used her hard for 9 yrs. As of this morning I have completed a total restoration of this old friend of mine. I mirror polished the sides of the blade (originally black) and left the top and edge grind satin, file worked the liners for extra grip, installed a s/s skull pocket clip, mirrord the pivot and scale screws and put on a pewter skull'd lanyard that has glow in the dark eye's.
Started reworking the edge with my diamond files when I saw your post and just when I thought she was done. I said damn that looks good and now want to send her off for a regrind. "THANK'S" Good looking knife you got there, enjoy.

Good work on the knife, the wife and the baby, sir!

Btw, where'd you get that skull clip? I want one.

Thank's
I got the clip at a local "real" tactical shop. (I live in a big Navy town)
I went there when I finished the knife to get an Emerson skull lanyard bead to put the finishing touch on her. They did'nt have any beads or clips as the all the team guys snatch'em up pretty quick.
I have seen them on other sites and on Emersons web site as well.
I think they'er about $15.00. Good hunting.

He re-ground the knife much thinner for better cutting performance, and in the case of my Commander, also ground the normally flat chisel side it came with.

He basically turned a cleaver into a scalpel.

some OTher people know how to make a thread. You get a lot on here with no pics. You've been groomed well.
 
I just got my endura wave back today- one-week turnaround. Thanks Tom!

As for the work itself, all I can say is WOW. If my E4W was a sports car, then my Tom Krein E4W is a freakin' rice rocket :) I feel like Sal in the sharpmaker video with this thing, effortlessly slicing designs through paper. Well worth it, but not for everyone- with the knife so thin it's not a field knife or a beater anymore, but a precision instrument to be treated as such.
 
Let’s see if we can find the right forum …

Lucien,

Tom's regrind turned your knife from the chisel-ground edge into a normal V-grind, correct? That's the one gripe I've always had about Emerson's blades is that chisel ground edge. If he converted your edge into a normal V-grind, I would seriously consider buying one so he could work his magic on it. Thanks
