John.

Again, thank you.

This all really has me thinking again how to improve things.

Long ago I had a fairly destructive method of raising the beveled edge of the knife on the stone, and the human factors made it variable and I ended up with a rounded off bevel.

Good edges happened but became unpredictable.

I will experiment with the Scary Sharp approach and also keep thinking about a grinder-style automated approach. Several things are forming in my mind.

Super Sharp-wise ( K. Willingham's gig) , I find a reasonable method where I secure the device in my hand, upside-down and carefully push and draw the knife's back and then the beveled edge across it prior to honing on a ceramic stick and it is working pretty well for me.

That after say, 45 minutes hard work on a diamond stone once things go bad.

Thanks for your insights. I REALLY appreciate them.

So, [toast]
