Steve,

I haven't seen anyone else mention this so either I'm the first or I'm
stoopid... But won't the blade pick up magnetism eventually? That's not
such a good thing to me but may be a useless or harmless trait otherwise.

I just envision sharpening the blade and knowing that there are small pieces
of shaved-off steel all over the magnetic blade ready to jump into my food.

The magnetism isn't a problem...
I hold all my lathe tools on magnets and once in a while I feel a slight
attraction between the tool and the tool rest..
A few swipes in the opposite direction, in my case pushing up instead of pulling
down, demagnetizes the tool..
