Sounds like you recognize the issues at hand and that's how I can tell you are on the right path. Stay on that path.

"I asked a fitter friend of mine if he was any good at shapening knives" Oh yeah no problem "he said,so I took a brand new black coated fixed blade of mine across to the workshop where he worked.
When I went back to collect it a week later he said it was not quite finished so asked to see it.To my horror it looked like he had dragged it down the highway from the back of his car....totally scratched to hell all over the blade!!!
I found out he had tried to sharpen it on a big stone wheel grinder and said it kept bouncing around cos it was so hard.Don't worry I'll finish it he said.Little to say I declined his offer and did the job myself !!!"

ouch

So that Mod4 IS pretty sweet?

HAHA. Just talked my wife in to giving me cash for my borthday this year. Nice. She was probably going to get me something practical like socks.
