Thank you for the video.  So it looks like I’ll need the w/e low angle adapter, the tormek small knife adapter and exteneded arms for the W/E.  lol looks like I need to get some more part time work lol

[gruntsoldier]

thanks for the advice everyone.  I put a mora on it last night and it’s definitely below the 14 dps mark to hit the whole edge.  I think with the adapter though it would probably work.  I might give cliffs suggestion a go though as it’s slightly cheaper and looks like it would work well also.  I’m going to grab a few different cheap model scandi’s and see what I can come up with for it but I definitely think it’s possible with some work and attachments.  On the mora I had on it last night at the lowest dps setting I could get which appeared to hit the whole grind I couldn’t do the back half of the blade because the stones were hitting the W/E  clamps

I’ll have to look into it a bit more.  I put the stones up against my Pohan Leu and laid the stones on the side to see if they would line up.  I took it to 14 and it still wasn’t touch all the grind.  it was hitting the bevel and about 3/4th’s of the grind.  I took it to past the 14 mark and it got a lot closer but still wasn’t there.  I’ll have to look with some of my other scandi’s.  Maybe try it out on a mora so if it doesn’t work I’m not ruining my bluefin flipper lol

I was just looking for this info after watching cliff’s video.  Thank you for the link!

thank you for that reply.  I did almost all downward strokes on it as I’m still learning.  I did 2 esee kitchen knives first and they were a breeze and are super sharp at 15 dps.  they both shave hair no problem.  I like a toothier edge but I’m one of those that gets slightly addicted to doing the most lol.  My Infidu will definitely shave also but not quite were I want it.  I ordered the ceramic stones and 2 sets of strops yesterday so I’m excited to see how much further I can get it.  I’m still in the phase of trying to see what cuts best on rope and zip tie type stuff.  seat belts ect.  I’m a officer and that is what I use my stuff for most of the time.  I look at it all as a learning process just like this information about breaking in the stones. which I definitely didn’t do However it was a extreme reprofile so I think that it was probably best using the new stones first.

again thank you for the info!

I got a new set up the other day and was wondering about this myself.  Figured I would come here and see.  I completely reprofiled my Busse Infidu with the brand new stones.  there was a lot of dust but I didn’t think much of it.  I did notice that the scratches on the edge were very deep.  I went up to 1000 grit while waiting for my ceramics and strops to show up.  I have to say even at 1000 grit it’s polished but still has the scratches.  I didn’t even think about breaking them in on cheaper blades.  I guess it’s too late now lol

I will say the Infidu is stupid sharp.  still slightly toothy though.  will push cut paper no problem.  The last 1.5 inches of blade at the tip took forever.  It must have been at like 60 degree’s lol.  I reprofiled to 20 dps and it’s awesome now.  Can’t wait to get my ceramics and strops to take it to the next level
