I sharpened the one on my Record 778 about a week ago using a coarse carborundum stone, it is a cloverleaf type. About half way thru the job I decided it would go better with a band aid on the index finger that held the nicker, pinching it against my thumb. The band aid didn't help hold the nicker, but it did stop the skin from wearing off further, as I hadn't noticed I was rubbing my finger against the stone wearing the skin away to the point it was bleeding a little bit. The skin has not completely filled back in and is still thin there.
Simple advise: Don't do what I did and rub your finger against a carborundum stone.
