Shearing?

Hillbilly:
Pat, I use a little bitty Eddie-style dental tool with a really sharp point for resharpening. Just go down each side and zigzag it, taking off really small flakes. If it gets too thick and dull, you might have to do some more vigorous flaking.

mullet:
 Pat, I use an Itty-Bitty, case hardened, sharp pointed former screw driver and do like Steve said, taking very small bites.

leapingbare:
yes yes very small flacks.
 a trick is to rest the point of your tool on the platform and instead of pressting in and down to remove the flack, just press down , this will give you a very small flack with a very very small delta.
