If I were a knife fighter I would change nothing. Since I'm using it for EDC and need a little more edge durability and don't need the convenience of the single edge sharpening. I re-profiled the edge to 40 degrees inclusive (20 degrees per side). I did this because the zero edge was too thin at the tip and it rolled and chipped a little. With the 40 degree V bevel it is much heaver at the tip and seems very durable now. It's razor sharp with mirror finish on edge and it is the best knife I own. Liner lock takes a little working in but a little pencil lead (per Emerson) on the contact edge of the tang made that break in much quicker. I could not be more proud to own this excellent knife. It's not my most expensive pocket knife. But it is my finest.
