    Lets see, do I just tell the customer" Gee it sux, the shaving geometry is going to be off, I tossed it out, buy a new one"

    Or" Gee I'm sorry it is no longer a nice spike, and the spine looks all worn out, I had to keep honing until it was right"

    Come on gentlemen let's get real here, how would you fix that edge??????

    BTW just for information, some expert in the past honed it that way.....


    PS: The rest of the story, Failure here is not an option, this belongs to one of the gals I work with, it was her Grandfather's, she wants to give it to her husband for Christmas, custom scaled in Tulipwood.....

    Here is the after pic of the corrected edge on the Boker
