Thanks Chaaz, just for the record, what grit of hone did you use to remove the nick?
The 4k side of the Norton hone I assume. Now the major question is how deep was the nick? Was it 1/2 the width of the bevel ? More or less? About how long did it take you on the 4K to remove the nick? If you have to do it again would you prefer using an 800 or 1000 grit hone?

Personally, I use an 800 grit ceramic spyderco hone to remove nicks and establish a new bevel.
It just works faster than using a 4000 Norton.


Just wondering,
