Thanks, Kraz. The tan finish was damaged in several places, and I hated sending Boot's knife back with anything less than the best I could do. Fortunately, I just got in some brand new Blue Zirconia belts, so I just convexed it. Sure a lot easier to do than the NMSFNO was. The SOD finish was not nearly as rough and it grinds easily. Even after all that pile of SR77 dust, the CG weighs 15 oz, two more than my LE. It should chop well.
