My roommates having the cell phones handy. Not to call 911, but to take pictures of the carnage they thought was at hand.
Shaving off those edges wasn't unbearable. Heck, once I learned the importance of pressure and a few "tricks" with the spyderco sticks they weren't bad at all. I'm a firm believe that you can coax a much finer edge out of a stone than it's label indicates. Getting some proper CrOx was the real ticket.
