I can't comment on the technicalities of sharpening as my experience is limited to small pocket knives on a whet stone and a metal file freehand to cane knives. From what I've gather from your posts, it cuts through stuff BETTER than before. In my book, that's good to go. If you want to clean up the edge so it looks smoother and polished, I'd get some sandpaper and a mouse pad if I wanted to conquer it, or send it off to someone in the know. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
