i'm considering doing it, but would really like to hear any advice... it's the kind of thing you can't undo


i don't care about maintaining the original geometry... just want a sharp durable edge
 
well, i did it... it's beautiful, and i would hazard to say, MUCH better than the original edge
 
at work... pics tonight... going to pick up some jewelers compound to put that purdy shine on it before i post pics
 
spent 15 minutes trying to take pics of the edge, and i can't seem to get one that doesn't totally suck

so here's the best i can manage. There are still very tiny scratches that are barely visible that i'm planning to take out as soon as i figure out how, but the blade is shaving sharp, and the edge looks like it's a lot more durable that the factory one
