My bravo is the only chisel edge I've ever owned. Its been very easy to sharpen. I've tried to sharpen chiesel edges for some of my buddies thru the yrs w/ no sucess. Does Buck have a secret? I can sharpen anything but these edges on off brands. Most be the steel or the temper or something?

Long,

How about doing a three or four picture "How Too" using the felt tip technique....I think everyone would enjoy seeing it. And some folks would learn how also.......300Bucks

I guess we need some one from Buck to tell us the angle of the edge. Then I would try a Buck 3 Stone sharpener. Just try to match the angle of the edge. Use a felt marker on the edge to make sure your angle is correct. I have a Bravo but I have never used it so I still have not sharpened it. I use my CSAR.

I have no problem sharpening my Bravo. Its chiesels edges on other knife brands. I'm putting my Bravo in the cabnet and going to carry my csar I got yesterday. Was/is your lock super stiff. I was very amazed how much more meaty the csar was to the Bravo. Makes the Bravo look like a kid. Lol
Incant tell you the angle of the bravo cause I don't use a clamp sharpener. I match the angle by hand. If its something your really interested in I can use my clamp sharpener and find the angle.
 
The chisel grind on the Bravo might be easier to sharpen but in my experience the Bravo chips very easily. IMO Buck should have done the Bravo with a clip or drop point satin finished blade and not the Besh Wedge blade. I had to take my Bravo into Buck for warranty because the edges chipped so bad after cutting some plastic.
 
It's that.........
"Besh Wedge™ blade technology. This technology provides the same thickness throughout the blade yielding a more rigid and reliable blade for prying, wedging and puncturing."

Really? Cutting plastic? I carried mine for 2 years. In those 2 yrs I puntured think alumium canisters that held Aluminum Phosphide. I have to punture the canster to recycle em. I cut open all my other plastic pesticide cansters to put em in the thrash. I've never chipped my blade. I've used the tip to scrape head gaskets off diesel engine blocks and the heads. I cut all kinds of rubber/plastic hoses, and cardboard boxes. You must have gotten ahold of a bad blade

I don't get how it works at all.

I don't know what the blade profile is good for. It seems stronger. I've done alittle prying to unstick painted shut windows and things like that. I think its just something to catch eye appeal.
