+1!

Let us know how you reprofiled the edge because it looks great.

The DMCG takes an awesome convex edge, check out Tiny's DMCG reprofiled by Ban (mine is in the background).

WOW!!! Ban does some incredible work!!! I've got a AD in black and tigethide waiting to get to him. . .
Thanks for the welcome guys, I flaked and didn't put an intro in, I have been looking here and posting at Swamp Rat and bladeforums for awhile now, so sorry for the flake.

All I did was got a large paint stirrer from walmart, I actually took and old beer cozy and glued it on top, used general purpose wet or dry paper, 600 grit, spent a long time here shaping the edge, getting rid of the heel and making it a true convex, I DEFINATELY recomend the sharpie method it helped me out alot.
Next up was 800 grit, on to 1000 and then 2000, after that it was my knivesshipfree.com leather strop with grey and green BRKT compounds.
I forget to mention that it took a large strip of hair off my arm too!!!

and for anybody wanting to get themselves into sharpening or reprofiling, I didn't buy any books, no expensive equipment, total cost of what I used was about 40$ and I spent a good while reading posts and how to tips on this and other forums, look around and ask, there is a ton of information here.
thanks again for the kind words

Welcome to the yard, grunt. Nice job on that DM. The DM was designed as a compact combat/utility knife. Glad to see some of our soldiers are using them. Now you truly do have a sharpened prybar!

Grunt - Howdy and Welcome to the ScrapYard! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Looks like you did a great job sharpening - well done. And thanks for your service - long live the Grunts!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

+1 to everything that PK said!

Good to have you around Grunt, and great to hear how well the DMCG preformed in the sand box.

thanks again guys! After this I am regretting selling my SS4!!!!!

NOOOOOO! man you should of kept the SS4 that was one sweet chunk of INFI. Im sure you had your reasons tho.

I can understand selling the SS4 even though I would never sell mine. Once a knife gets to a certain point over what you paid in value it gets awfully hard not to see a pile of 20$ bills instead of a knife. I sell all the knives I don't absolutely love. Right now I have
DFLE
SS4
YKCG
Muppy
SH-E
HairyCarry
Swarden
SAR5
The only ones I would never sell are the DFLE and SS4 with the HC looking very likely to become a keeper. The YKCG is going for sure and the rest are probably going unless I fall in love with one. I may keep the Swarden as well simply because it is such a handy little knife with the neck sheath.

Well Mr. gruntinhusaybah that is a fine edge on a fine tool, and thanks for your service.

Nice job! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Nice looking edge

Nice job on that edge! I've always loved nice, shiny edges.
