When I was first learning about grinds and thinning I thinned this knife in a kind of "flatten it all down/even it out" way. Obviously it was a mistake. Yes, the large bevel is largely even know and I can polish it and make it look pretty, no more overgrinds and undergrinds. So I haven't been using this knife much in the past year because it is so sticky compared to my knives with quality grinds. But now I want to do my best to make this knife perform better, to remedy my mistake as best as possible. I know, you can't add back metal and I don't want to have to lose 6mm of height so that I can have that thickness/metal to completely redo the grind, too drastic, too much work. This morning I thinned off some shoulders/ thinned right behind the edge (basically just the exposed core steel) and it's improved the performance a decent bit.
Right now it's noticeably flatter (less convex) on the right side, which I *think* is fine, since I'm left-handed. Idk how informative/helpful these photos actually are...
I'm wondering what you'd recommend to reduce the stickiness / improve the grind. I have diamond plates, sand paper, stones, no belt sander.
