[QUOTE="Hand Skills, post: 2572923, member: 103303"] If you decide you like the knife, consider having someone thin out the edge for you. This is a great way to increase cutting performance AND sharpenability. Some bladesmiths offer regrinding (aka reprofiling) services. I have reprofiled a number of knives for myself and others - it's a great way to bring some new life back to a blade that has been sharpened a lot, but can also boost a factory knife to near-custom levels of performance Kind of like rebarreling a factory rifle! [ATTACH type="full" alt="cub bear convex.jpg"]378597[/ATTACH] Knives of Alaska Cub Bear. I tried a convex zero-grind on it for a while, but I find better control with a little micro-bevel on there.
