But anyway the first time i reprofiled my Caly 3, during the shaping phase while hitting the edge with a coarse diamond stone, i noticed the metal powder that grinds off was collecting in a magnetic pattern on the edge of the blade. The whole section of blade up to the spine was collecting metal but this spot on the edge in particular was so magnetic it had a halo of spikey shavings formed on it..
Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics but i think you can see what i mean...

Has anyone ever seen anything like this?? Would the sharpening process have something to do with causing it to be magnetic? I haven't tried it but i don't think it's strong enough to feel it attract to another piece of metal but the shavings/powder was light enough to be effected by it.
