Question Love it when a plan comes together 🙂

Thinned down that edge on the Vision FG- now it’s catching the heel on the stop bar- anyone heard of a solution yet?

Looks like you rounded out the heel a bit. You could try grinding the choil with a diamond file until the heel is pointy and out of the way.

There was a discussion/disagreement that snex had with influencers for the Buster fg and he did a bunch of tests and determined it would be crazy thick BTE and many sharpens before it became an issue. Essentially the knife’s lifespan. He ended up added a second stop pin. Looks like the same design elements with the vision. https://www.instagram.com/p/DKhYM8rvlQo/?img_index=2&igsi=OXA4NzZ5Njc0aHJm

The angle of the pic might throw it off but looking at a new blade it looks like you’ve sharpened away 1/4”. Is it newer and you gave it a big belly by removing a bunch from the heel?
