Any real world advice from someone who's done it successfully?


Are you interested in showing-off your impressive "edge" ..
or using it as a chopping tool ?
ie : it isn't meant to be used as a shaving razor
nor as a filet knife ..
Use a fine file. Avoid grinder heat ..
Think lawn-mower blade more than hunting knife.
