Rolled Tips - Once used and abused H1 SE Dragonfly 2

[NjMS]

I'm hoping for some enlightenment here.... I took my new Serrated H1 Dragonfly 2 for a local trail run tonight and it's been a bit windy. Few big trees down across the tracks so there are some go-arounds starting to wear in. Figured I'd do my part on one small section by trimming some small 1/4 - 3/8 bushy branches out of the way. Bit of pressure on the branch away from the cut and a single stroke from the H1 SE and away they broke, most cleanly in one swipe. I was impressed, really impressed actually.

Until I got home. Looks like I've rolled the tips on a few of the small serrations. You can see and certainly feel the rolled over points. I'm a little surprised as I didn't think it was hard use but maybe I pushed it too hard for what it's fair use is.

Any suggestions on a fix. I've a lansky spydie sharpener stick in the mail. And an edge pro (probably not much use on SE) should I try to somehow straighten the slight kinks in the teeth. I'm worried they might snap of I did it wrong. Or just sharpen them out. I've tried to get a few pictures (crappy phone ones but you can see the rolls as they reflect a little more light)

Since this is a work hardened steel you should be able to straighten the rolled points back, I'm just not sure the best way to go about doing it. Sharpening will be removing some of the steel so I'd try to straighten as much as you can first, then touch up.

I hate the Dfly SE because the points are so snaggy. The PAC Salt has perfect shallow scallops.

I rolled the tip of my H1 ladybug with a twisting flick cut.

I put int on an anvil and tapped it flat then re-sharpened and it's been fine since.

That was a clip point. After that I got the hawkbill too and I've managed not to tweak that.

I use a kitchen steel, pull backwards on it and start at 22 degrees, then move to half way between 22-45 degrees, then finish at 45 degrees. I do it all the time at the shop I work at. Works every time
