How do you break in the edges?
That should certainly be enough laps on that coarse of a stone to put a bevel on anything. The steel might be of such poor quality that it is simply crumbling away. I had this happen on a dubl duck that had lost it's temper, and a pakistani blade, too. I ended up getting the pakistani to take a bevel on a finer grit hone, but it took forever. Too coarse of a grit just made the edge crumble.

To break in the edges of my DMT's, I took my Chinese 12k hone (which is very narrow), and used the side of it on the edges of the DMT's until they were noticeably worn down.
