I am learning how to work with this 154CM. It is hard and heats up fast when grinding, but man does it ever take a sharp edge. The Bird Dog is such a nice EDC slicer and small game knife. All it needs to be perfect is a little TLC on the edge. Here is mine with the factory edge.


As you can see, it is a little rough for this type of knife. So I reground the edge with a 120 grit. Then I went to 180. Then 40 micron, 15 micron, and final polish with 9 micron. This took me about 15 minutes on the belt sander. Now the edge is worthy of this very fine little knife.
