Thanks for all the ideas guys. I always thought the sign of a wire edge was when viewed from a miroscope a bright light would be visible on the very top of the edge. My razor does not show this. The bevel is even all the way across from tip to heel and is as black as could be. I would post a picture if I owned a camera but I don't. I'll try the leather strop first and if that does not help it I guess it's back to the hone as per Randy's suggestion. :shrug:
