The more I think about it.... I'm sure it's just me over-thinking it.

I'm going to re-profile the edge anways, so it shouldn't even matter....

I'll leave the pics up if anybody else wants to take a look, but I'm over it.

I'm psyched to have me some De-Regulator!!

It's an awesome knife! If I had to pick one blade to depend my life on, it would be the DeReg. I've got more practical knives, but that's the most bomb proof knife I own.

It sure seems bomb proof.... tomorrow I'll begin to work on the edge.

I'll let you guys know how it goes....

AAF, If you look closely it seems to me that the grind marks are consistent with the rest of the blade. Yes the angle seems flattened (maybe) just a touch but the grind marks seem the same. I would say it came that way from Dan's Den.

Skunk,

I agree with you at this point that it probably came that way...

It just looks so funny, which made me wonder about it.

I'm gonna see if I can work some magic on it tomorrow....

You can, but with SR101, it does take just a tad longer. Be patient.

I'm gonna get a belt sander to work on mine. I don't have the patience to work on SR101 with a stone.

I don't mine using a stone. If its not too far gone its a quick touch up.

Touching up isn't so bad. I've come to really like convex edges though, and it takes a while to convert them over unless you have power tools.

I'm old school and stubborn. Conventional V grind for me! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

So, are all you Appleseed edge folks going to take over the world?

Ah, the strong silent type I see. That only reinforces my thinking that I am correct.
