Cool Tag. I think I'd like to do the same. Not sure if I should just try it myself or not (on a cheapy). I have a D2 blade that I convexed on sand paper. I need a strop now. Took a long time but it's a hair popper now. That was a $50 blade and only 4" so it was kinda easy for a first try.

I started practicing on an Ontario that I picked up for $11 off eBay. I would not trust my skills on a better knife.

I fall into the camp of 'the sharpening challenged'.
