WOW!!! Ban does some incredible work!!! I've got a AD in black and tigethide waiting to get to him. . .
Thanks for the welcome guys, I flaked and didn't put an intro in, I have been looking here and posting at Swamp Rat and bladeforums for awhile now, so sorry for the flake.

All I did was got a large paint stirrer from walmart, I actually took and old beer cozy and glued it on top, used general purpose wet or dry paper, 600 grit, spent a long time here shaping the edge, getting rid of the heel and making it a true convex, I DEFINATELY recomend the sharpie method it helped me out alot.
Next up was 800 grit, on to 1000 and then 2000, after that it was my knivesshipfree.com leather strop with grey and green BRKT compounds.
I forget to mention that it took a large strip of hair off my arm too!!!

and for anybody wanting to get themselves into sharpening or reprofiling, I didn't buy any books, no expensive equipment, total cost of what I used was about 40$ and I spent a good while reading posts and how to tips on this and other forums, look around and ask, there is a ton of information here.
thanks again for the kind words
