lordedmond:
Just grind the top flat leave the end as is

andyf:
I may be wrong, but think the top is supposed to remain as it is, and any sharpening done by grinding entire the angled front end back a little, thus preserving the angle it makes with the top.

I have one of those blades.  I've only ever ground the front face, right against the the grinder wheel.

If you grind from the top surface then you will lower the cutting edge below center and will have problems when parting off. Only grind on the front face.  :D :D
