I used to have a standard procedure:

1. Buy a Busse.
2. Reprofile to convex edge
3. Use and enjoy
4. Strop as desired.

Then, Garth began making Custom Shop knives with convex edges. So:

1. Buy a Busse.
2. Reprofile rather obtuse convex edge to more acute/sharper convex edge
3. Use and enjoy
4. Strop as desired.

But the last 2 Busse knives I have purchased have strangely perfect convex edges! So, for my Blade 2014 Team Gemini, and Comp finish SOB w/finger grooves:

1. Buy a Busse.
2. Use and enjoy
3. Strop as desired.

What happened???

 
Honestly Tom, I think you are to blame (partially)...

After some of your old tutorial posts about how you reprofiled your edges on (many, not just Busse knives) I think the Busse team took notice and it lit a fire at the shop. That and maybe some new equipment and staff to help ease the workload has allowed Busse to send the recent production knives out with some of the sharpest I've seen directly from them.

SO, yes, the edges have been great lately and it's probably your fault (a little anyway).

...of course I could be completely wrong too.:D No matter, we're all benefiting from the new sharpening team/system!!!
 
From what you said Tom, it sounds like Garth is to blame for those sharp edges. ;)
