I just wondered how many people change the grind/edge on their Busse-Kin knives as soon as you get them ?
This could be anything from convexing it to just thinning it out !!!

Who changes the edge's on their new Busse-Kin blades ? single choice
	Yes I do.
	No never, the edge they have is just right.

I had the edge of my DMDC 'vexed, but the others have stayed factory.

I may take them in later, but I haven't decided.

My guy does a good job though.

Not yet...If I do, I'd get someone like HD to do it...

I have resharpened most of the knives I'm actually using... lets run down the list from memory...

*High Street (blue): Convexed by hand, stropped to hair popping
*High Street (orange): Used for a demo of a sharpening system at BLADE - sharpened to a flat edge grind, will probably convex it at some point
*Bird Dog - came to me already having been reprofiled to a nice convex
*Scrap Muk - Reprofiled to convex on belt sander
*Mud Puppy - haven't used it, haven't sharpened it
*Son of Dogfater - came reasonably sharp, but convexed it anyways
*NMSFNO - came dull as a butter knife, put a hair popping convex on it
*Regulator - came to me very sharp with a flat grind, but still reprofiled it
*Killa zilla - came with a full convex zero edge. thought about sharpening it but the idea terrifies me
*Mini uncle mojo - came with a passable edge, but convexed it by hand after trying to baton it through a hardened masonry nail
*SR Vex - came with a convex zero edge. Ocassionally stropped but kept the factory profile
*SR M9LE - came with a very sharp flat grind, haven't resharpened or stropped it at all



So, yeah... I tend to reprofile mine <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Can't sharpen a pencil here

Sharpen their Bussekins...? What!?!





























Okay, yeah, I might be a little guilty of this! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

i do it right when i get them

There is just something cool about the design that made.

Like a hamon! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Change the edge? Me? Maybe just a little.

I do. The factory v-grind is thick, bad for cutting and chopping.

I like the edges on your SYs tyger75. I'm working on setting up a belt sander right now with a buddy of mine. One day mine will also look like that.

+1 - I will refrain from my usual rant about my fanatical preferences for edges "optimized" for actually cutting stuff and being ideally suited for "Knife" uses vs. the weak arguement for obtuse brick chisel edges to accomodate those who "might" get huffy about rolling a "Quality" sharp edge after they bashed cinder blocks. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

But, I ONLY bother to take the time to sharpen and reprofile the knives I am CERTAIN I will use and keep. I won't bother if not sure if I am going to use it.
