(The3rd*Earl*Of*Derby) doth burble:
snip This is actually not a problem - regular sharpening and honing of
the face moves the hollow back so that a straight edge is automatically
maintained. In fact, overenthusiastic sharpening or grinding of the face
by some users enlarges the flat between the edge and the hollow-ground
part of the chisel.

Where did you come up with that little tidbit? I don't think so
Earl.
