Oh thanks, Mongrel, now I have to be a genius...
First off, the ability to 'slice' often comes from a blade with a thinner profile, sharpened at a finer degree.
People buy tactical knives for strength, I guess.
On top of this, a Lansky sharpens at a pre-selected angle, like 15, 20, 25 annd 30, which is fairly worthless if your knife is 17.8 degrees.
Before you grind off all of that good metal, ask yourself honestly what you are trying to accomplish. If you want the dangerous cut of a folding razor, then purchase a folding razor or slick up an Opinel. If you want a knife for your work as a soldier, take your knife, polish it to the finest mode you can at 20 degrees and live with your decsion.
Now, I cannot give out names due to client confidentiality, but there is a retired soldier here who is one of my clients. He might see your thread and share with you his motivation.
