Having only honed hollow grounds with slight variations on Harold's technique any tips for the beasty wedges? *goes off to hunt the wiki and forums* (There is a sliiiiight smileyness on the toe I debate about doing away with/keeping partially unsharp or attempt a rolling variant stroke as it doesn't look like it would sacrifice much steel and one naturally on the shape of the forged steel that remains unsharpened on the heel)
*sits here admiring the blade considering restore options*
Ok so I don't have the best camera folks but...
(artifact vertical line on the blade in that last one)
Currently have a DMT 325, 600 and Shapton 1k, 4k, 8k, 16k for a honing setup.
