Thank you, you are correct, I meant to say stabilizer. Radio Shack Microscope died so I'll need to replace that. When I do, I'll start by adding 3 pieces of tape to the blade until I can get down to good, clean steel that is even all the way across. I also just noticed that it has a hollow spine, with a single stabilizer, the first of my collection with one. The dip in the spine from the shoulder to the point is about 1/8". This would indicate that rolling x strokes would be the only stroke to use, correct?
