Thanks for all the help Mike! Great thread here. I'm going to need to download and print a new copy of the Book of Mike.
I also discovered that my honing is improved, I found a few shallow cuts on the thumb I used for testing the edge and cleaning the crud off so I can see the edge. Going to need to switch to a paper towel for cleaning. I knew I should, but I didn't expect it to be that sharp. My grandfather would slap me upside the head, he taught me sharpen knives safer than that.
