PM sent. Hope it helps. Also..Herr Aust was pretty good about responding to e mail. He did not answer every one, but did so with most and communicated well.

I'm curious if the sound is due to the grind, or to the "Schorkopf" (the shaved off end). If not, is the Schorkopf purely aesthetic? Or is it for affecting the weight/balance?
