Last time I did a comparison on 7" combat knives, the Yard Guard had a factory edge going against very good edges on its competitiion. It still won, but not as well as it would now. Since both the Dog Father and the FBM have very sharp edges and the new Fatty was sort of obtuse, I decided to make things as even as possible. I love sharpening INFI and SR-77. They take a really nice edge. So here it is, scary sharp Fat FBM. Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

I didnt know the FFBM's were hollow ground? I'm thinking that I missed something. I use a 1" x 30" upright belt sander with 180, 500, and 1000 grit. There is a very slight convex (opposite of hollow) grind, actually. I use a "slack belt" type of grinding which is not straight. The belt wraps around the blade, creating a true convex edge. The shiny part at the beginning of the primary grind was done for cosmetic reasons. I was smoothing out the area between the spine and the primary grind and it had nothing to do with the sharpening angle on the edge. Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

I don't know when I have seen such a beauty that didn't say "Busse Custom Shop" on the blade. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> That sir,is a great job! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> Peace.

One thing I love about infi is you can sharpen it thinner than any other steel for a very thin sharp edge. The strength if infi makes it possible.
