    I know what you mean, but trying to convey how a edge feels is difficult and that edge would feel different to everyone so the description of the edge can only go so far... I don't know about you but my edges are Savage sharp! With an Animal-like roughness anything I could do to smooth it out?

    What are you honing on? Usually such an edge comes from a diamond hone if you are honing past 8K. Stropping will help but paste will usually tame most edges.



    Take Care,
