Hopefully if you keep honing you can get into good steal and being a Boker should take a fine edge. Good luck.

The only way you will know is to hne it. It is impossible to say how deep the pitting is with the naked eye. You may hit solid steel or you may keep hitting pitting. Just hone it and hope for the best. Good luck.
I don't think there is anything to add here but I am curious what you used to take the picture.
Cheers gentleman I will keep trying honing. We shall see how it ends up. I used the camera on my phone, 8 megapixel with my 30x loupe taped in front of it. Do you reckon it works?Quote:

It can really try your patience.Quote:
