Well, I think I thinned the edge too much on my DMDC as when I was batoning a log, I got a couple of chips closer to the tip (where I had gotten a bit more daring with keeping a low angle)



This pic hopefully shows the overall way the egde is shaped (convex, but with a longer radius near the tip)



I know it will sharpen out, but just wanted to share for those starting out sharpening and want them to learn from my mistake. Any tips on how to gauge how thin you can go on an edge?

Meanwhile, while waiting for the SOD to get here, I decided to splurge <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />



There are a couple of scuffs in the blade from the previous owner putting it in a kydex sheath, but I can live with that (I might even beat the snot out of it - I don't ever plan on selling it).



And here she is with her thinner sister...



I really need to get some kind of light setup and a better camera <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Edited as the pics weren't showing up...
