I'd think you have two options. Send it back to Dozier and ask them to examine the edge and sharpen the knife. Or, thin the edge back at about 15* and then put a secondary bevel on at about 18*-20*. Try it then and see how it does. I've never had a bad heat treat from a custom maker but I did have a high end Benchmade that wouldn't sharpen. I fussed with that knife until I got mad, boxed it up and sent it back to Benchmade with a letter explaining the issue. Benchmade replaced the blade and agreed that the original blade didn't meet their standards.
