I recently sent in 3 knives to Tom Krein for him to regrind. They had all been sharpened flat to the stone to thin them as much as possible with a stone, and looked pretty sad. After using a Krein modified Fallkniven U2 I knew he was the man to regrind them with nice, thin, & high hollows.
The first knife was a Jess Horn ZDP, and the first picture is a comparison with a Jess Horn that was ground flat to the stone so you can reference how much better the grind is now. My photo skills suck, so unfortunately I can't provide any edge into shots, which is where you really see the difference in how much thinner the edge is.
The edge is very thin now, under half the width of the flat to the stone knife.
