Consider me well and properly reprimanded! I’ll give it a great honing and put it to work.

I wouldn't do that. A new one was ~$40 a few years ago.

Buy a new one and use it, keep the special one as is and treat it as a treasure.

Don’t even hone it. You will grind through the patina — collectors want to know this is the original edge.

I think the guys who said to put a little WD40 and lightly towel it are right.
