That's awesome news, Rich! Glad to hear some good news for a change. I'm expecting a couple knives in the near future that I might need reprofiled; I'll definitely let you know!

E-mail sent sir. Thanks!
Tried to email you and was given a failure notice. Hoping you look @ posts here and will reply.
Purchased a Grayman Dua a few months ago. I love the beefy build of this knife (compared my small Sebenza) and made a few modifications to suit my ergos. Most of the mods were inspired by the Sebenza: 1) rounded the blade spine. 2)ground the blade belly and handle to create a bigger choil. 3) Ground the handle at the thumb stud to make blade deployment easier.
I'm very happy with the mods i made although having trouble with the finishing. The tooling in my shop is not refined enough for what i would consider a proper finish such as smoothing and polishing or coating. Looking for someone to do the remaining finish work . Additionally, wondering if youre open to trying to give a hollow ground to the blade.
Thank you

p.s. I was looking on you r website and noticed your offer to firefighters. Im a career FFer with the New Orleans Fire Dept. I do use this knife on duty although it shares time with a couple other folders. With that said i do not expect you to do anything for free. . .

I just got a Doug Ritter mini. It came sharp but would like it scary sharp. Do you have any openings? I also have a old straight razor that's been neglected.... Interested in giving that a fresh start? Please pm me if you got a spot. Thank you.
