I agree with Hart. After going back & looking at it, it might have a slight frown. If you do like he mentioned & re-hone it, it might be much better. When you get a few more bucks, you might want to invest in some more hones. I'm sure that is already in the plans though. The 3000 might work for you now but some finer ones will greatly improve the edge. Still not bad for a beginner. It'll only get better as time goes.
