"I don't know a single sharpener who would be sharpening an unhardened steel."
Well now you know one KG...us, (although we really don't regard ourselves as "sharpeners"). Agreed, the burr removal process is likely to be a pain. We got the cold rolled steel into the 200's though so hope to do at least as well with the A2. It's also possible that we will be able to do more complete burr removal after it's hardened. Its also possible that we're smoking dope and that the edges will come back to us from heat treat totally messed up. Don't know, we'll just have to see. It's like buying stocks on the stock market KG; if your stock goes up you're a financial genius and if it goes down you're an idiot.
