Had to put down and walk away from the 01 Tool Steel for a while
Worked on this Northwoods D2 blade instead, just because
EDIT: And finally got the 01 Tool Steel to come to an understanding
Took the Ken Onion Work Sharp and progression through all the belts though
Saved that as a last resort because I knew it would remove more metal than other methods
EDIT: WOooHOoo ... made it through the bonding phase with the 01 Tool Steel

This is going to be one tough, wear resistant blade
After about an hour's work off and on with Lansky and Spyderco ... they barely touched it
Took Ken Onions Work Sharp to swiftly bring it to its senses LOL
