    Thanks Bill, I'll have a real close look and check that the bevel is touching, if not as you say..bummer !.

    I've never seen a Hamburg grind, so I may (no, will) show my ignorance by asking - if the bevel is not touching because of lost width, why can't you artificially "widen" the shoulder to get it sharp? I know you can buy angle guides for knives. Couldn't something similar be done if this turns out to be an issue?

    Ah - thanks. Looks like art really does imitate life - I'm developing a noticable "Hamburg grind" as I get older.
