Thanks everyone. I handled it as is to hone it and the string seems already to be a great help, I can definitely improve; leather showlace sounds like a great plan! I probably also will move the string/lace further up the handle.
The edge wasn't perfect/ there were a couple of dots of corrosion, so i had to bring it all back to a 4000 hone, then switched to lapping film down to 1 micron. Now it looks great and shaves arm hair. I then coated it with a very very thin film of gun oil. We shall see how that all work out tomorrow!
