Sure thing. This is the finished results. It feels really smooth and I feel it will only get better as time goes on.

Great advice pixelfixed. I wished I would have had one on hand. Truth is I need one of those, a set of honing stones, and so on and so on. Stinks being new to something. Need all the appropriate gear.
