minus-squaresomeguy3@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 months agoUh does sharpening really do enough to unbalance it?
minus-squareContrarianTrail@lemm.eeOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months agoOne or two times probably not but more than that likely will. Especially if there were major dents you grinded away. You can buy a cheap plastic tool to check the balance and then just grind away from the non blade side to balance it out.
