No. I'll go ahead and pass on the hone. I will inspect once more, and run
through all of the setup checks that they call for, but I cannot see where
any of that would cause a strip of uncut material. Then I guess I will go
ahead and shift the knives.

I'm wondering if they will smooth out small knicks. My new planer is
leaving strips of uncut wood in line with direction of feed, i.e.
perpendicular to the knives. I am assuming that there is a knick in a
knife. I inspected each one twice but could not see anything. I was
hoping
that a few passes with one of those hones might fix it.

To take 'em out, you'll have to remove serious metal. These aren't
designed
to do that. What Duane said is the answer most people use for knives
otherwise sharp. Unfortunately this usually means more than a few minutes
to reset the height of the shifted knives. Some of the lunchbox types are
supposed to be simpler.

You're going to scrape 'em anyway, aren't you?
