not sure if I ever replied to this, but I have the MilSpec also. I actually sent to my sharpening guy. Now before anyone goes and rags me....Ryan puts an edge on my knives that just make it impossible to resist using him over and over.
He uses Wicked Edge and has mastered it. He knows the degree and angle on most any maker and model. He has sharpened Gerbers to some $3000 grains for people. Never takes steel off the edge.
He has 2 edges. Mirror and toothy. Toothy would be a "working edge", but on some of my finer more refined, the mirror just changes the whole level.
I'll up some pics. But having a knife that will cut paper at a 1/16" or less repeatedly is hard to resist. Score boxes with zero pressure, cut rope and twine with almost no sawing action.
Trust me. And affordable. About $12 an edge, lasts for months (I rotate my blades a good bit).
Gleasons Wicked Edge on FB. Thank me afterwards. Tell him you know Klark. He'll really hook you up.
Good of job with the Esee. I have a few. I keep a 5 in my Jeep by the seat for "stuff"
Don't want to HiJack your thread, but here is my DPX MilSpec. Sharpened by Gleason
The knife actually wasn't that dull. I spent a couple of minutes with a Spyderco med/fine ceramic stone and had it shaving.
I got a couple of minutes to go out in the back yard and play around today. Nothing special just a little batoning. I really like the size of this knife it's big enough to be useful but not so huge that you get tired of carrying it around.

Nice. Glad to see its getting used well.
Love me some working picture.
here's a few shots of the ESEE getting ready for the weekend.
^^^^^tucked her in for the night after a long day in the woods.
Had to put the camera down to get the job done and to watch for yotes, they were in the bushes surrounding us so we were kinda in a hurry. This was the first time I actually thought a coyote would try to gey the gut pile before it was on the ground.
