no problem el cacafuego. i'm glad go be here to offer my help to anyone who has questions. i sharpen quite a few busse kin knives and the last 1 i sharpened was a scrap yard regulator. here is what the owner had to say after getting the knife back from me.

"I just got home after midnight and opened the box. The edge is amazing. I am scared to play with that knife now. Richard - you truly are the god of sharpening. Hats off to your skill."

maybe i can get him to post some pictures since i never took any. cjpgeyer was over when i sharpened it and it shaved his arm bald easily.
