Will Swamprat grind a thinner bevel if requested?

Title pretty much says it all.
I'm thinking of grabbing a Ratmandu while they are still on the site. I have an Infidu, but fell in love with SR101 with my 1111.
I've reprofiled knives before, but if I don't have to, then all the better.
My Infidu arrived screaming sharp, and convexed, but I believe the Ratmandu comes with a high saber grind, and generally around 25-30 DPS.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'd like to get one at 17-20 DPS if possible.

Thanks!
 
Yes, I have a RMD that I ordered from the factory and requested a thinner grind. I don't think they can accomodate super specific requests, but my CG came a lot leaner than the LE I got off the exchange. I sent you an email in case you want more details.
 
Right now, it depends on whether that is considered "custom" (as the Custom Shop isn't currently taking new orders)
 
Good point, I did order that RMD a few days before Jerry made the custom shop announcement, but I put the same request on all of my subsequent Op 2 week orders and didn't hear any push-back on it.
 
I guess it isn't considered custom work, then. Good to know.
 
Full height flat grind by the custom shop:

I asked for a thinner edge on my Ratmandu and they were happy to do that. This was for a custom shop order however.
