Combo edge no more

[Ashley]

Well after about 15 minutes or so with my worksharp belt sharpener the recon 1 is sporting a clean crisp plain edge. I then used the dremel to add a choil for a choke up when doing precision cuts.

Thoughts welcome.

Nice job Ash    I'm not a fan of serrated edges, I think the choil needs to be deeper (hard to tell without holding it)  and while you have the Dremel out how about some jimping for your thumb? 

[Ashley]

I didn't want to add any jimping as it has a little already. As for the choil it feels perfect for my first finger. My partner and I kept trying to decide if it was right or not. I'd feel it think I was done then I'd be told nope a little deeper. We finally agreed.

Sounds like you did it the right way and not take off too much too soon     (I've never done that    )

In fairness though Tony, Ashley's tool of choice was a Dremel rather than a 9" angle grinder ... 

 

Good to hear you've got it tuned how you want it Ash

Looks good Ash! Although I cannot support the senseless crimes against serrations.


Keep calm and jeep on

Al is exaggerating  I'm embarrassed to admit I only have a 4'' 
Well actually I have two x 4''  and an 8'' buffer

It's often said "it's not what you've got, it's how you use it" 

... however it's more often said by those with 4.1/2" than those with 9"

Good work.  Most of my knives are plain edge as well because of my own difficulty in sharpening serrations. 

[zatoichi]

I have a few knives with serrations. For a folder, it really does not bother or appeal to me all that much.

I got serrations for my ESEE-5 as the serrations struck me as being easy to sharpen.

[Ashley]

I can't stand serrations anytime! Now I mean some food prep its nice to have them.

Ladies and Gentlemen no matter what size tool you use make sure you are using appropriate safety equipment ever time

Actually, I intentionally omitted it for fear of raising any flames... I do find the oatmeal hilarious too, but it just ain't anyone's cup... :-)
