Sound advice for sure, best to leave well enough alone. “Do no harm” resonates with me. If it was broken internally it would require attention. Since it functions well it would be advisable to not take unnecessary risks.
Thank you George!

Just for future reference, the Brownells set and the extra thin blade set will handle most situations. Dan Rositter advised me to get a couple sets of the Grace hollow ground with the wooden handles. He said use one as is and if you need a special width driver to grind one from the second set on a drill press with a hard Dremel stone. It works slicker than goose dookie.
