Thanks guys. The D2 Benchmade 940 is up next in the vise. (unless I get side tracked by some kitchen knives.

I have a benchmade mini griptilian with D2 and it took the 15 degree edge very well. Push cut 550 pages on a phone book.

I sharpened a couple of my D2 blades to 17 and 18 degrees per side and haven't had any issues. I just matched it to the bevels I had and haven't experimented with thinner edges since they cut great at the angle they are at right now.

I also just sharpened my BM 940, it had been sharpened several times before with my previous sharpener and matching the angles on my weps it came out to 21 per side with it clamped at b.5 in the top holes. I also took the thumbstud out. I clamped it more towards the handle by the flat spot on the blade for a more secure hold because of the way the back of the blade is ground.
