You have not set the bevel correctly.
go back to 1k and start over.

OOPs sorry i didn't know you don't have 1k then use 4k for a longer period.stay on it until edge will cut both sides and have bevel on both side of the blade.

I have tries to make more passes on the dull side but still the same results?

Any response from anyone out there as to what may be the issue?

Thx Matt
