Sure you can smooth it out. If it isn't in the path that the razor would travel when honing it isn't an issue.
well i looked at it again. i might just make it out of the path when i use the x pattern, so i can breathe a little easier, i guess that it will lap out over time, id hate to think that my 8k just got accidentally ruined by the "nobody" in my house
Well if it is just at the very corner you knock those down when you chamfer the edges anyway. Chamfering the edges is a good thing IMO. Not everyone does but it may save the blade from a micro chip if the edge of the hone develops any divots.
I highly recommend getting rid of those squared edges...all of them.Quote:
