Thread: The Point of Despair

Wow! I am overwhelmed with the response. I live in Charlotte, NC. I sent my blade for a professional honing after realizing I really needed to purchase a 1000 grit stone to set thebevel I ruined, and after my wife vetoed the additional expenditure. Besides, she more or less called me out on my obsession, telling me it had absented me from the children and put me in a foul mood to boot.

If someone lives in the area, I'd still like to learn. I have another blade or two I could mar. In all seriousness, I am grateful for your eagerness to help me. My lack of progress has ruined my life.
