Has anyone ever tried, with a cheapie blade, to do the blade sharpening in a ChefsChoice diamond wheel with Asian blade capability (15 degree bevel)?

Yes, experts replied, with predictably bad results.

Seems to me that it should work pretty well.

No, everyone said. I said, "doomed" but only based on a few months razor honing experience and decades of commercial knife design, sales and manufacturing. I say, go on and try like everyone else but, I also say folks here are both well informed and extremely polite. I also say, "When you don't want to hear the answer (you anticipated), why ask the question?"

These are really well-informed, polite people here.
