Also, it does not seem to exhibit any of the overhoning characteristics such as a roughness on the back of the thumbnail or thumbpad test. And no square chips in the blade edge.
It never occured to me that this would be over honed, but maybe you are right? Is there any definitive test for that?
Thanks,
