Ah, hahaha! And Many Thanks for your well wishes and support, deuntajo! :cool:
If I read your post correctly (?), with regard to the factory edge "settling down" I'd say yes, at least in theory it will get better after it's been sharpened. I say this because edges on production knives are generally sharpened mechanically and looking at the edge on the Province I think it was most likely sharpened on a belt sander which is not a problem per se. However, as you may well be aware sharpening with power tools has the potential to stress and/or overheat the edge a little and maybe even leave a bit of a burr therefore weaken the edge a little.
So, carefully sharpening the edge by hand without stressing the edge or leaving a burr, will after a sharpening (or two perhaps), remove any stressed or overheated steel and improve both edge stability and edge retention. :)
