EDC knife Benchmade McHenry Williams 710 from steel M390. 

 

Arrived for repairs with several damage near the tip. 

The cutting edge from the manufacturer was rather rough, and the edge lines were wide. 

The dimples are completely removed, and the edge is polished to razor sharpness. 

The angle set by the manufacturer does not make much sense to reduce in one sharpening. 

This will lead to the removal of a large amount of metal, reducing the resource of the blade. 

For this reason, the angle was changed by only half a degree on each side. 

With next sharpening, it should be increased a little more, since cut ability of kitchen knives, does not require for pocket folding knives. 

Better durability is needed, provided by about 40 degrees in total. 

As a result, the edge lines will not be so noticeable, and the quality of the cut will remain good for all everyday tasks. 

The knife again pleased the owner.
