    Hey Shane! I set the bevel 'profile' (you know how I did it!) so it's got a good start for a nice small an tight bevel, but the honing will be done by the man that will shave with it.

    Wow!
    I liked the way it looked originally but seeing what was under it, and how it looks now....I LOVE it!

    There sounds like some proprietary information here as to settiing the bevel 'profile.' I'm fine with keeping professional secrets but if it is not a secret, what are you saying? Also, I was probably, like many, stunned by the amount of pitting. I am not a fan of pitting. Finally, on first glance I thought you 'softened' up the makers mark on the shank but saw that it was just a little out of focus...in another pic it is still deep and has 'crispy edges.' It will be a terrific save once completed.

    Yes, I was also intrigued by the 'set the bevel profile' and would like to know more.

    Also, am I right in assuming that there was a re-grind involved or is it all down to hand sanding?
    My service is good, fast and cheap. Select any two and discount the third.
