Who is a trusted person to reprofile a blade?

[Steel130]

I am curious who is someone that I could get to reprofile my Swamp Rat from convex to full flat ground? I can't get the convex edge sharp so and my sharp maker is so much easier for me to use than the sand paper method so far.

He's worked on all kinds of knives aside from making his own. He did a couple Emersons, Spydercos, and an ESEE for me. Excellent work.

Tom Krein does regrinds for many people and many different types of knives.

Krein no longer does regrinds. Your best bet is Brad Southerard, or Nick Rossi.

There's a guy that goes by Ban over on the Busse sub-forum that does a lot of this type of work.

Here's some of his threads...

Scott Gossman. Best I've seen. He does specialize in convex edges, so FFG may not be his forte. I'd drop him a line anyway.

Give him a shot. Send him a pair of scissors too. You'll be amazed at the way they come back.

Richardj knows his stuff, he tried to get me into sharpening by paper wheels. Once I have the room for it I definitely will heed his advice.
