I've been using the word "reprofiling" lately and realized that I'm not entirely sure I've been using it correctly. I heard it from a relative who is a butcher and farrier, but not a bladesmith or knife professional. I am referring to changing the shape of the edge from heel to tip, e.g. bringing up the belly, repairing a recurve, making a certain portion of the edge sit flat on the board, and so on. Is this a word that is used in the knife world and am I using it properly in terms of these alterations?
Thanks
