Thanked: 433Problem edges like that are a huge learning opportunity. If you can get a warped blade sharp you can get most everything sharp. On to chips and frowns...lol!!

Thanked: 3795CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You now know how to hone!
Everything that you wrote was awesome but I pared it down to what I quoted above with the bold stuff being most crucial. All of this indicates what you now have learned and will be able to do again in the future. That is, you identified the problem, you recognized the cause of the problem, you made adjustments on the fly to adapt to and correct the problem, and because of that you were able to eliminate the problem.
Remember always that a wise man walks with his head bowed, humble, like the dust.
Remember also that that head should be clean shaven with a sharp razor, and now grasshopper, you know how to get that razor sharp!

Thanked: 28I will. I think what sums it up best is that with this razor and the great feedback and suggestions from you and the members of this forum I have "learned how to learn how to hone" and have changed my thinking.
Please forgive my exuberance in my rather long winded post. I will endeavor to take it down 1,000 from here on.

Thanked: 3795Actually, I was highly pleased by your exuberance. I think many of us have had similar "aha!" moments and what you wrote really did suggest to me that you have passed a critical threshold. You no longer are just doing what you were taught but now know that often you need to do what the blade needs. Honestly, as I was reading that post I got a smile my face knowing that you now get it. I knew that as soon as I read "I felt that the blade was not contacting the stone."
