    I would try Stropping first and see what happens. When that stops working, I use a 3 x 12 inch home made bench strop pasted with CrOx or 0.5 micron diamond paste then back to the unpasted daily strop. When that fails, I go to my hones, then pasted strop, and finally my daily strop. I try to minimize removal of metal from a setup bevel. If your edge has never been set up by an experienced honer, you may want to send it out. A lot of wear can take place with hones.
