    A subtle rounding is all that is required, 0.5-1mm wide is enough. I use small strips of sandpaper, often cut from worn sheets. I start with 80-150 grit and end with 240-400 grit.

    I've only done it once and used a cheap diamond hone from HF to do it... just because it was what I had in my hand at that moment. It was fast and easy.
