I recently acquired a used Infidel. I'm not sure where to begin with sharpening it. It appears beveled only on one side, like a chisel edge. Should I bevel the other side as well, or sharpen the existing edge and debur the back?

I'd be down with that, but it's an OTF and seems like a pain. Looks like they won't accept it without LE or military ID, or from a retailer. I've got an original bead-blasted 9000s AFO (without safety) similar to your above AFO and I still have the original box and inserts from the mid 90s, saying you need the sign-offs from .mil/LEO, for any work to be done. Two things about the Infidel: are you ever going to want to sell it? I'd keep the 'chisel grind'. I wouldn't reprofile and would just keep the chisel grind if I knew how to sharpen, adeptly, or I'd learn how to sharpen on beater knives before I attempted it. If you're just going to use this as a working blade, then have at it! Chris |

I needed mine sharpened very badly about 6 months ago. Wasn't going to sell it so I just had my knife guy change the grind so in the future it could get re-edged more readily.
Honestly it's my EDC beater so I'm not concerned. I can ship it back eventually if I REALLY want to but it's a work knife so I don't really think I will. |
