It's been a while since my last post here
Work on the restore has gone slowly - work is very busy right now with lots of extra hours to be done.
Not much time for working on highly favored hobbies ... that's life gents.

Since my last post the sanding work has moved to 1000 grit wet/dry, using WD40 from 600 grit level onwards.
I have noticed there will be more reshaping of the edge profile to be done before honing can commence.
There seems to be a bit of a hump shape towards the toe end of the edge that will have to be sorted out.

Here are some pics to show progress so far. Not sure how clear they will be a couple seem a bit blurred.
