Thanked: 96She's the only Natural I currently use. She has plenty of diamonds to keep her happy.
Use is on hold however, as I've spent the past week slowly grinding down a wedge I got that was suggested it might have been a failed attempt at regrinding into a hollow. I've spent maybe 5-6 hrs on a 220 DMT and ALMOST have gotten the entire edge level. There is still a BIG chunk of blade at the heel that makes no contact, funneling down to a nearly true wedge at the toe. It's been a lot of work and I can't promise that I'm not destroying some very odd hollow grind. But I've really not removed all that much metal. It's just VERY hard steel. I've removed a lot from the sides, but the dimensions are almost unchanged (because it was so weirdly ground), it's just getting flatter on the sides. Twice I've tried to stop beveling and took it to a polish using rolling X to try and get it shave ready, but I havent been able to get the toe sharp enough to please me (It was REALLY far off, like 3+ degree angle roll required to get it to contact).
