    Ok so I ground it down with the dremel making sure not to let it get hot.
    how do I reset the bevel, I only have a norton 4k/8k it seems like it will take some time with that so maybe Sandpaper but what grit/grits

    btw it came out at 19/32

    from measurements and good old math, the bevel only has a 3 degree change 7 to 10 does that sound right

    cool!

    not quite 5/8 but a tad more than 4/8, I'll bet it will still shave fine!

    All the best!

    Not too shabby! Get some 1000 grit wet/dry paper, lay it on a very flat surface and draw circles with the blade until it's sharp. Tape the spine. I'd really recoment you buy a 220k 1000k Norton combo for the job.

    Nice! And to think you were considering "binning" it!
