I do know how to hone, too! Been doing it for many years, probably more than you've been alive. It's a science, not an art.

Hey rgdominguez, Illigitimi non carborundum. With all the extraneous noise ignoring us, maybe we can have a good learning session!

Tim, nice pictures. I wish you could have taken them of both sides of the blade, a lot of times a burr can hide on one side and look really clean from the other. Nice work, though, and thanks!
Swede, it's nice to show solidarity and all, but I wonder if it's a good idea to introduce yourself in your very first post on a forum by jumping in on one side of a dispute between two well-liked senior members. It may also be pointed out that Mparker is extremely well-respected here, for his expertise (which is both hands-on and theoretical, art and science), for his courtesy and humor, and for the time he takes with newbies. You'll learn plenty from him, even if you already know how to hone – that is if he hasn't already obliged your request and put you on his ignore list.

That said, welcome to the forum Swede.
