I got this DM about a year ago to take on a deployment due to it's heft, I was pretty sure I would be able to pry alot of stuff open with this baby, and did I ever! Ammo crates, car doors, hajji hut doors etc.
I was very pleased with this knife throughout my time there.


However, the edge on mine was about like a factory hatchet, very thick, and very coarse.
So, I spent a couple hours today thinning and sharpening the edge on this bad boy.
Now, keep in mind that this is my first attempt at a reprofile with convex edge. First try. And I am happy










sorry for the random post, but I was so happy with my results, I have never been able to sharpen a knife this well before.
I'm a convex convert

It does look sharp, thanks for sharing.

Nice work. It looks great.

Awesome DM edge! My DMCG is one of my favorite knives. And I thinned and convexed the edge on mine as well.

Glad to hear you put it to work. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

WOW Grunt!!

I love my Dog Mutt Combat Grade too. It is a sharp pry bar to be sure. It IS the kind of knife you can bet your life on! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

I am so grateful for your post and for your service to the cause of freedom in the world. Keep your head low and your eyes wide. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

God bless you for all you do. Come home safe you hear me! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

Peace.

nice work, Its always good to see people using a DM as it was intended. What method did you use to reprofile it?

I am stoked about reprofiling my Hairycarry as well.
I think most knives need to have their edges reprofiled and Scrapyards are no different. It simply is to expensive to have a guy go over each edge for long enough to make them perfect. I have noticed the edges on Rats and Dogs were really straight and even but quite obtuse and rough like they were done with a 40 or 60 grit belt.

Those were great photos. Any time I try to get close they get blurry.

Welcome to the Yard.
