I used diamond lapping film on my wedge. Completely uniform surface, and still the scratches....

Is it just that the bevels are wide enough on a wedge that you can see the scratches, as opposed to the very thin bevels of a regular razor?

Just my observations,

+lower grit stones while you are setting bevel.
will have all blades wedges ,hallows etc.usually 1k.

Natural or artificial stone? It can happen with both but there are some notoriously "dirty" stones that make me crazy when using them because they're unpredictable in their result.

Wow, I didn't see this one resurrected from the dead. Since originally posting, I have just paid more attention to not trying to go too fast and I rarely get these anymore. I have found it is sometimes just errant grit from slurry or whatever and can't be avoided. At that point I start cursing and go back to grind/polish the scratch out.
