i fully understand this. same reason i shine my own shoes/boots, wax my snowboard, hand polish wood, etc. it's therapeutic. I'm sharpening impaired though and have scratched up a couple of blades :mad:. the stress of worrying about messing up prevents the same level of therapy from sharpening, but i hope to get there one day

Blades will get scratched, the better you get, the less it'll happen.

yea... i never scratched the cheaper knives i practiced on. then i guess i got cocky, and scratched up two of my nicer blades, one of them pretty badly. ever since then, i'm extra careful

I can tell. Thanks for the welcome. It is cheap therapy. I was up in the middle of the night last night thinking too much, so I went down to the basement and started refurbishing one of my knives. Very relaxing.
