I'm not too concerned with getting it perfect...it wasn't from the factory and likely never will be. It's a workin' knife and not a show piece anyhow.

I think I may go to lee valley tools and invest in some water stones. I've had my eye on some for a while but have always gone with the space age portable fanciness.

I guess old style school deserve an old school sharpening solution. Big stones are also nice because they can be used to hone my axes.
